What a tangled web Billy Moore is weaving when he steals David Tanks' girlfriend. Tanks is the prison "bad boy" and he's out for revenge, threatening to kill Billy and rape and kill his sister, Macy Tucker. Billy is incarcerated with Tanks (not for the same crime) and warns Macy about his predicament when she comes for a visit. The stolen girlfriend, Ellie, reports Billy's and Macy's murders to Detective Sergeant Jake Baldwin before they ever happen. He thinks she is a bit looney and dismisses her report.

However, when Tanks and Billy both escape prison in the same attempt, Baldwin begins to put the pieces together and thinks Ellie might not be so crazy. Billy and Tanks are not connected in the break-out, but it makes the whole state of affairs look mighty suspicious.

They all find themselves caught up in this snare as people begin turning up dead and Macy's home is broken into and vandalized with graffiti messages. Jake Baldwin appoints himself Macy's personal protector as they try to track down Tanks before he gets to Macy or finds Billy. The FBI even gets involved in the case.

Sparks fly between Jake and Macy, and they are not necessarily romantic sparks, although Jake is trying to create a few. Macy wants nothing to do with him or any other man. Men have always let her down; she just doesn't trust them. Macy thinks Jake is bossy and Jake says Macy is bull-headed. Could a romance ever blossom between the two?

You'll find just the perfect blend of murder, mayhem, sex and romance, with a bit of witty humor thrown in for good measure. GOTCHA! is fast-paced and action-packed; a great read you will not want to miss!

SUMMARY

Macy Tucker was five years old when her beloved grandfather dropped dead in his spaghetti. At twelve, her father left his family in the dust. At twenty-five, her husband gave his secretary a pre-Christmas bonus in bed, and Macy gave him the boot. To put things lightly, men have been undependable.

That's why dating's off the menu. Macy is focused on law school, and putting herself through—which means being the delivery girl for Papa's Pizza. But cheesier than her job is her pie-eyed brother, who just recently escaped from prison to protect his new girlfriend. And hotter than Texas toast is the investigating detective. Proud, sexy…inflexible—he's a man who would kiss her just to shut her up. But Jake Baldwin's a protector as much as a dish. And when he gets his man—or his woman— Macy knows it's for life.
