About This Book
Rogue FBI agent Jared Romine is determined to prove his innocence. Accused of a double murder he didn't commit, Jared knows he's simply a pawn in a larger conspiracy. The only way to clear his name, though, is with some help. And sexy lawyer Peyton Douglas is the one he needs...and wants.
Peyton doesn't know what to think. Jared insists he's being framed. But she's sure he did it. Not only did she see the evidence, she's the one who turned him in.... He claims she's in danger, and wants to protect her. Now on the run, she isn't sure she can maintain her self-control. Jared's hot kisses and sensual touch ignite something within Peyton she'd forgotten existed...a burning desire that won't end with just one night.
