Romance Suspense

For the past six years, Haley King has been living under the witness protection program after playing a key part in bringing down a major drug dealer. She left behind her husband of 20 years and her two sons to protect them from the dangers of her fateful decision to testify. Haley always wanted to be a part of law enforcement. Though her first successful case took away her family and her sense of security, it did not destroy her determination to become a private investigator.

Now, circumstances have changed to allow Haley to leave the program and return home. Unfortunately, with the disappearance of her boss, Haley brings trouble back with her. Now she must fight to keep her well-earned independence, while asking her estranged bounty hunter husband, Greg King, to assist in finding her missing boss -- without losing Greg forever.

Greg's background in the police department is a great springboard into his current profession as a bounty hunter. He and his sons run their own business together and are very successful and well-sought after to get the job done. Then six years ago, his wife secretly got involved helping local authorities take down a powerful drug dealer who was selling to the students at the school where she worked. Haley's decision to testify resulted in death threats and ultimately landed her in the witness protection program and out of his life and their sons. When Greg unbelievably sees his wife in town, it kicks him into high gear to find out why she is keeping her appearance a secret.

What an interesting, action-packed story with larger-than- life characters, both in mind and body. PLAY DIRTY packs one hell of a punch.

SUMMARY

Heartthrob bounty hunter Greg King knows how to work it โ€” and he knows that he can have any woman he wants. But thereโ€™s more to Greg than meets the eye...and heโ€™s still haunted by the memory of his beautiful, estranged wife. Much as heโ€™s tried to move on, heโ€™s never been able to stop wondering why Haley left him. Or what he could have done to make their marriage betterโ€”and make her stay... After putting a vicious criminal behind bars, Haley King had no choice but to leave her loved ones behind and enter the witness protection program. Turns out that, in her new life, Haley has once again found herself in serious trouble โ€” and needs help from the only person she can trust: her husband. Now, as old secrets threaten to tear them apart and danger closes in from all sides, itโ€™s up to Greg to keep Haley safe...and convince her that this time, heโ€™s playing for keeps.
