Reed Ware is a New Orleans Police Department detective. How
has a solid cop with 12 years of exemplary service ended up
taking a group of influential people hostage at a party on
Christmas Eve?
Hostage negotiator Caroline Wallace is assigned the task of
talking Reed into surrendering. She's also the estranged
daughter of NOPD Superintendent of Police, one of the eight
hostages being held at gunpoint in a billionaire's mansion.
When Reed is able to finesse the situation and take
Caroline hostage, leaving the others behind, he tries to
convince her that his life is at stake. He tells a story of
uncovering high-level police corruption, but can he
convince her? Caroline had a crush on Reed when she was a
teenager and she still feels drawn to his obvious
sensuality. And he's just as sexually attracted to her,
especially in such close proximity while in hiding.
Between bouts of steamy sexual activity, Caroline gradually
comes to the realization that Reed has put his life on the
line to attain justice for a couple of young boys he's
vowed to protect. He felt he had no other choice when he
and the boys found proof of the police corruption and it
became evident he did not know who he could trust.
HUNTED by Karen Robards is a romantic suspense
that's quite heavy on the romantic aspects while providing
exciting suspense elements. Several surprises are in store
as the tense and sticky situation comes to a close for
Caroline and Reed. Robards' fans will definitely enjoy
HUNTED.
In New York Times bestselling author Karen Robards’s
latest heart-pounding romantic suspense novel, a reckless
former detective knows too much, and a hostage negotiator is
forced to join him on the run for his life.
Caroline
Wallace is one of New Orleans PD’s top hostage negotiators,
and she’s never failed to get every hostage out alive. But
this time, it’s different. This time, the hostages include
her boss—the chief of police—and the mayor. And this time,
she’s trying to negotiate with Reed Ware, a former co-worker
who left the force disgraced, under investigation by
Internal Affairs, and worst of all, considered to be
volatile and extremely dangerous.
As police
snipers arrive on the scene and manage to get a clear shot
of Reed, Caroline knows she only has a few moments left to
persuade the hot-headed, reckless (and extremely handsome)
Reed to let the hostages go and turn himself in before
anyone gets hurt. When the SWAT team runs out of patience
and launches an attack, Reed takes Caroline hostage and
manages to escape with her in the chaos. During the escape,
Reed reveals to Caroline that he’s uncovered corruption at
the highest levels of the police department and New Orleans
city government, and those involved will stop at nothing to
keep him from exposing what he knows…including
murder.
>Now, the normally cool, calm,
by-the-book Caroline is forced to question everything she
thought she knew about her job and her city and join Reed on
the run…putting both her life—and her heart—in jeopardy.
