At a seedy no name bar in the boondocks on the bayou, Shaw
Kinnard and his partner-in-this-crime, Mickey Bolden, paid
assassins, are talking about their hit scheduled for the
next day. Hired by Billy Panella, a gangster known for his
brutality, is paying $200,000 to them to kill his partners,
sister, Jordan Bennett. They are surprised and shocked to
look up and see her walking alone into this dive.
As owner of the successful events planning EXTRAVAGANZA, no
way would this be one of her choice locations. She is a
classy, sophisticated, gorgeous lady. Neither guy believes
it is a coincidence. While Mickey calls Panella to share
this news, Shaw casually walks over to the jukebox for a
closer look. For a brief moment their eyes lock. He thinks
she is mouth watering but he is hired to kill her. She
will be the first woman he ever killed. Mickey tells Shaw
Panella has ordered the hit now. They head out to the
parking lot. Minutes later, Jordan comes out and heads to
her car. As Mickey raises his gun, Shaw double crosses him
and kills Mickey with a shot to the back of his head .He
hits Jordan in the side of her head, knocks her unconscious
and abducts her.
The non-stop action begins. For 36 hours he holds Jordan
captive but he does things no kidnapper would. While she
is unconscious, he washes the blood from her face. He pads
her wrist with a bandana to soften the damage of plastic
cuffs. The same for her ankles. He questions her
constantly about her brother, Josh, an accountant, who
committed fraud with his boss, Panella and $30 million is
still missing. Does she know where the money is? Panella?
Josh? Her brother turned informant and is in Witness
Protection but escapes from a FBI safe house. Now he is
being hunted by the FBI, and Panella. Will her brother
save her? Shaw wants Panella dead. A chase is on and the
pages are flying by as the action becomes fierce. Answers
to questions are coming and the end is in sight, or is it?
Sandra Brown never disappoints, and STING is no exception.
This is an exciting, suspense filled tale of corruption,
deceptions, greed and loyalty. My super sleuth skills came
easily when I figured out Ms. Brown's first surprise. She
caught me completely unprepared for her stunning and
unexpected finale. Bravo. That is why I eagerly await each
new addition to her long line of sterling reads. I loved
hot, hunky, bad, bad, boy, Shaw Kinnard. He steals my heart
early on and mouthy Jordie can pretend to ignore him but he
is irresistible. They spark and sizzle! You will enjoy
this heart pounding thriller that has surprises and HOT sex
galore.
#1 New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown returns
with another suspenseful, sexy thriller-now in paperback!
#1 New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Sandra
Brown jolts the reader from the first page of this
heart-pounding story of corruption, treachery, and ceaseless
deception . . . where nothing is what it seems and every
truth brought to light exposes a darker lie.
When Jordie Bennet and Shaw Kinnard lock eyes across a
disreputable backwater bar, something definitely sparks.
Shaw gives off a dangerous vibe that makes men wary and
inspires women to sit up and take notice. None feel that
undercurrent more strongly than savvy businesswoman Jordie,
who doesn't belong in a seedy dive on the banks of a bayou.
But here she is . . . and Shaw Kinnard is here to kill her.
As Shaw and his partner take aim, Jordie is certain her time
has come. But Shaw has other plans and abducts Jordie,
hoping to get his hands on the $30 million her brother has
stolen and, presumably, hidden. However, Shaw is not the
only one looking for the fortune. Her brother's ruthless
boss and the FBI are after it as well. Now on the run from
the feds and a notorious criminal, Jordie and Shaw must rely
on their wits-and each other-to stay alive.
Miles away from civilization and surrounded by swampland,
the two play each other against their common enemies.
Jordie's only chance of survival is to outwit Shaw, but it
soon becomes clear to Shaw that Jordie isn't entirely
trustworthy, either. Was she in on her brother's scam, or is
she an innocent pawn in a deadly vendetta? And just how
valuable is her life to Shaw, her remorseless and
manipulative captor? Burning for answers-and for each
other-this unlikely pair ultimately make a desperate move
that could be their last.
With nonstop plot twists and the tantalizing sexual tension
that has made Sandra Brown one of the world's best-loved
authors, STING will keep readers on the edge of their seats
until the final pages.
