Excerpt of Hell on Wheels by Karen Kelley

No doubt about it: Cody Carlyle is the hottest bounty
hunter around with a well-deserved reputation for bringing
in the toughest skips. If she’s learned one motto in this
businessβ€”and in lifeβ€”it’s this: never turn your back.
Never give an inch. And never, ever offer your heart.

Fellow bounty hunter Josh Pierce has had his eye on Cody’s
every luscious curve for quite some time. The hunky ex-
undercover cop would love to show her that some things are
worth believing in, things like the kind of ecstasy he’d
happily show her in bed. Hey, fighting this kind of white-
hot attraction is just wrong. So why not give in to a
little Josh Pierce temptation? Why not share one amazing,
toe-curling night of indescribable, head-scrambling
passion and then walk away, no hard feelings? But the
night they spend together is beyond amazing. It’s sheer
bliss. Not that it could ever happen again. Could it?

What was supposed to be a one-time deal is quickly
becoming a very tempting habitβ€”one they could stop at any
time, of course. Like after the next time. Or maybe next
weekβ€”no rush. Suddenly, two bounty hunters who never
believed in anything are open to everything, scared of it
all, and ready to discover what happens when you go after
the biggest catch out there…true love…
