As an incentive to convince Wade Cordell to join her Bullet
Catcher staff, Lucy Sharpe offers him a cushy assignment
and advises him that he should pay her to take it. He
will fly to the Bahamas, find a woman named Vanessa Porter,
charm her into cutting her vacation short, and bring her
back to the states. Vanessa is one of the Sapphire Trail
black market triplets that might be able to save her birth
mother's life. This mission sounds too simple to Wade,
and he really should listen to his instincts.
Vanessa, a Wall Street financial wizard, hasn't had a
vacation in six years, and isn't on a pleasure trip now.
She is looking for her friend and co-worker Clive
Easterbrook, who came to the Bahamas on vacation about a
month ago and hasn't been heard from since. Wade follows
the leggy blond from a gay bar in Basseterre to a gay
whorehouse, where she is told at gunpoint to leave the
premises. He figures this is where he needs to make her
acquaintance. Vanessa wants nothing from this handsome
dude except the cab he is holding in front of the
whorehouse. It seems that he comes with the ride, and at
no extra charge. He offers to help her find her friend
and tells her it is what he does for a living. Actually,
Wade feels that Clive does not want to be found by Vanessa
or anyone. But, if he wants her to return to the states
with him, he has to find Clive -- dead or alive.
It would not be a Bullet Catcher book without a hot and
steamy romance between the protagonists, and believe me,
this is one hot, hot relationship. Since Vanessa and Wade
didn't particularly like each other when they first met,
now they have to sit on the hands to keep from grabbing
each other. Of course, they have to be extra alert since
someone is trying to kill them.
THEN YOU HIDE is exciting, provocative, intriguing, sexy,
and just plain good. The plot is first-class, the
characters are excellent, and the suspense is
titillating. Ms. St. Claire's voice is always strong and
dynamic, and this book just may possibly be the best of
this series. Do NOT leave for vacation without FIRST YOU
RUN and THEN YOU HIDE in your tote; they are both fantastic.
The Bullet Catcher trilogy continues as Wade Cordell hunts
down a woman who doesn’t want to be found…but she needs
his skill and he needs her…everything. Don’t miss this
steamy trip to the islands.
