SummaryHe is every inch the desperado.
Tough, relentless and a force to be reckoned with, Cord
Romero lives for the adrenaline rush that comes with being a
mercenary for hire. Risking his neck is all in a day’s
work.
But this time the job is personal.
Having barely survived a murder attempt, Cord is looking for
vengeance. But to get to his target it means joining forces
with Maggie Barton.
No longer the impressionable young woman he once knew,
Maggie is strong and independent ’ and an expert in a
profession that places her as Cord’s equal. But a
tragic secret from Maggie’s past threatens her
relationship with Cord . . . and makes her a pawn for his
deadly enemy.
Forced to trust each other for their very survival, Cord and
Maggie embark on a lethal game of cat and mouse that can
leave only one winner standing.
