One Step Ahead — Linda Stevens

Hunter or hunted?

Patrick Rourke needed to find the men who'd murdered Bridget Houlihan's parents. He'd promised he'd keep the child safe, and he'd let nothing, even his old enemy Flynn, stand in his way.

Flynn needed Patrick Rourke out of his way, permanently. Rourke had threatened Flynn's safety, his connections and worst of all, his profits. And Flynn would let nothing prevent him from exacting his revenge.

Whether Patrick Rourke wanted Annie Sawyer's help or not, this time he needed it. Years ago, he'd saved her job, her self-respect and her life--and now it looked like it might cost her all that and more to repay her debt.

For this time, Rourke the hunter was being stalked. And everywhere he and Annie turned, they found enemies already there ... one step ahead.
