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!
The story of Bullet Catcher Max Roper, a mountain of a man
with a moat around his heart.
When Lucy assigns Max to protect and investigate the lovely
young widow, Cori Peyton, it's no coincidence. Cori and
Max have a blistering past, and they blame each other for
the greatest pain they've ever endured. But their
attraction is still sizzling and as they close in on a
killer who hides in plain sight, their high-stakes affair
could cost Cori everything...including her life.
