From “one of the most popular voices in women’s fiction”
(Newsweek) comes a heart-pounding romantic suspense
novel from New York Times bestselling author Karen
Robards.
That night, Samantha Jones was doing what she
always did: just trying to get by. Left to make her own way
on the mean streets of East St. Louis, the pretty
twenty-three-year-old single mother supported herself and
her son as best she could by repo-ing cars. When she hooked
her junker of a tow truck up to the BMW she’d been sent to
haul in, the last thing she expected was to find a beaten,
bloody man in the trunk—or to be catapulted into a
terrifying fight to survive.
Danny Pantrero was minutes away from dying when Sam found
him. Bleeding badly from a gunshot wound, he’d been snatched
from protective custody by a vicious gang of drug runners
who would stop at nothing to see him dead. With his life on
the line, Danny takes Sam hostage. Forcing her to help him,
he tries to make her understand that now she’s a target for
the killers, too. When they invade her house and threaten
her son’s life, she finally understands: there’s no going
back. She and five-year-old Tyler go on the run with Danny
in a desperate effort to reach the authorities who have
promised him protection before the killers can silence all
three of them forever. In the face of harrowing danger, Sam
has no choice but to trust Danny with her life—and, more
importantly, her son’s. Against her will, she starts to fall
for the once-menacing stranger, and discovers a depth of
passion she never imagined she could feel.
But what Sam doesn’t know is that Danny has a secret that
could destroy them all.
