Sting

Description:

Shaw Kinnard's dangerous vibe makes men wary and women sit up and take notice - Jordie Bennit included. It's an unlikely meeting. She doesn't belong in a seedy dive on the banks of a bayou, but here she is ... and Shaw is there to kill her. Jordie's certain her time is up, but instead Shaw abducts her, hoping to get his hands on the thirty million dollars her brother has stolen. However, he's not the only one looking for the fortune. Now on the run from the feds and a notorious criminal, Jordie and Shaw must rely on each other to stay alive. Jordie's only chance of survival is to outwit Shaw, but it soon becomes clear that neither is entirely trustworthy. Was she in on her brother's scam? And just how valuable is her life to Shaw? Burning for answers - and for each other - this unlikely pair make a desperate move that could be their last. - Publishers description.
