Corinne Cooper Peyton must not only deal with speculation regarding her possible role in the sudden death of her older, billionaire husband, but now it appears that someone is trying to kill her. Through her insurance company, she contacts Bullet Catchers, a top bodyguard/security organization, and they send out one of their best men to protect her. That man is "Mad Max" Roper, who just happens to be Cori's ex-lover. They parted years ago on bad terms. Cori's father and Max were both DEA agents, and when a bust went bad and Cori's father was killed, she blamed Max.

From the moment they see each other again in Cori's palatial Miami home, however, the heat between them rivals Florida in mid-July. Max quickly realizes that guarding Cori's very desirable body will be the easy part of his mission. Guarding his heart will be harder. Cori, still grieving over William Peyton, for whom she truly cared, is shaken by her physical response to Max and the memories his presence brings back. She reluctantly begins helping him investigate Peyton Enterprises, where they find more questions than answers. Then Cori is violently attacked at a spa, with Max only feet away, and a "walk in the park" assignment is suddenly complex. As the true circumstances of William Peyton's death come to light, Max knows that someone will stop at nothing to control Peyton Enterprises... and Cori is the only person standing in the way.

This new book in Roxanne St. Claire's Bullet Catcher series is sexy, exciting and suspenseful. Max and Cori have a chemistry that leaps off the page, and the twists and turns of the investigation will keep readers guessing. The Bullet Catchers, some of whom appear in the book, are all intriguing (and sexy), and I'm looking forward to meeting the rest of them! Be sure to turn your AC up to High when you read this book because the action, the setting and the romance are hot, hot, hot!
