And one dangerous attraction.... Roxanne St. Claire delivers
a heart-pounding thrill ride in the second Bullet Catchers
novel!
HE KNOWS ALL HER SECRETS...
Max Roper never lets emotion get in the way of his
job—not since the tragic shooting that killed his
fiancée's father. Now the former DEA agent is a Bullet
Catcher, and he's managed to block out Cori's bitter
goodbye—and their sizzling passion. Those dangerous
desires come back with a vengeance when Max is assigned to
protect a recently widowed heiress: who turns out to be
Cori. But Max must also discover his ex's dark secret...and
they both know she can't hide anything from him.
...AND HOW TO USE THEM AGAINST HER
Her luxury lifestyle suggests that Cori has gone from being
a trophy wife to a merry widow, but nothing could be further
from the truth. Suspicious of her billionaire husband's
sudden death, she hires a bodyguard. But her protector is
the one man who can melt her every defense—the one man
she blames for her deepest sorrow, the one man whose
six-feet four-inches of solid muscle ignites reckless
passion in her. And as they close in on a killer who hides
in plain view, their high-stakes affair could cost her
everything...including her life.
