Contemporary | Romance Suspense | Romance Contemporary

Turner Hastings has spent the last four years playing the part of mild-mannered librarian and part-time bank teller in her small Wisconsin town. When two bumbling robbers in silly masks pull out sawed-off shotguns one Saturday morning, the commotion provides Turner with the opportunity she's been waiting for -- she steals the contents of the bank president's safe deposit box and leaves town.

Special Agent John MacKinnon resents being assigned to a small-time bank robbery in a remote area of Wisconsin, until he spots the woman on the bank's security video. As John searches for the intriguing thief, he locates her cell phone number. On a whim, he calls her, and the furtive conversations between the FBI agent and his suspect draw them closer together. Turner is determined to accomplish the mission she set for herself four long years ago, despite the temptation offered by the voice on the phone. John's pursuit of Turner is more than just a professional duty and his desire to capture her has little to do with her crime.

Julia Harper, (who also writes historical romance as Elizabeth Hoyt) creates realistic and satisfying erotic encounters that are sure to please. Hero John MacKinnon knows how to fulfill a woman's fantasies and Turner Hastings is a woman in need of escape. The pages turn quickly, especially once the cell phone conversations heat things up. From the crazy bank robbery beginning to the sizzling conclusion, this sexy contemporary romance is totally HOT.

SUMMARY

For four years, play-by-the-rules bank teller Turner Hastings has brooded over her uncle's wrongful imprisonment. But when two bumbling crooks stumble into her branch (barely disguised in Yoda and Sponge Bob masks) and hold up the place, she sees a chance to do something she's never thought possible: get revenge. She takes advantage of the melee to pull a heist of her own, seizing info from a security box that will exonerate her uncle. Sent to investigate a bank robbery in small town Wisconsin, Special Agent John MacKinnon discovers the robbers were two not-quite-so-bright thugs and one woman. Now, Turner is on the run. With SA MacKinnon on her trail, she's breaking into the bank president Calvin's house, kidnapping his Great Dane, and for the first time in her life, setting out to break a few rules. But when Calvin hires a hit-man, MacKinnon will have to decide between his career--and saving Turner.
