In New York Times bestselling author Karen Robards’s
latest heart-pounding romantic suspense novel, a reckless
former detective knows too much, and a hostage negotiator is
forced to join him on the run for his life.
Caroline
Wallace is one of New Orleans PD’s top hostage negotiators,
and she’s never failed to get every hostage out alive. But
this time, it’s different. This time, the hostages include
her boss—the chief of police—and the mayor. And this time,
she’s trying to negotiate with Reed Ware, a former co-worker
who left the force disgraced, under investigation by
Internal Affairs, and worst of all, considered to be
volatile and extremely dangerous.
As police
snipers arrive on the scene and manage to get a clear shot
of Reed, Caroline knows she only has a few moments left to
persuade the hot-headed, reckless (and extremely handsome)
Reed to let the hostages go and turn himself in before
anyone gets hurt. When the SWAT team runs out of patience
and launches an attack, Reed takes Caroline hostage and
manages to escape with her in the chaos. During the escape,
Reed reveals to Caroline that he’s uncovered corruption at
the highest levels of the police department and New Orleans
city government, and those involved will stop at nothing to
keep him from exposing what he knows…including
murder.
>Now, the normally cool, calm,
by-the-book Caroline is forced to question everything she
thought she knew about her job and her city and join Reed on
the run…putting both her life—and her heart—in jeopardy.
