From βone of the most popular voices in womenβs fictionβ (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 sheβd been sent to haul in, the last thing she expected was to find a beaten, bloody man in the trunkβor 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, heβd 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 sheβs a target for the killers, too. When they invade her house and threaten her sonβs life, she finally understands: thereβs 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 lifeβand, more importantly, her sonβs. 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 doesnβt know is that Danny has a secret that could destroy them all.
