When Shaw Kinnard encounters the incongruously elegant Jordie Bennet in a seen-better-days bayou bar, it’s not love at first sight. He’s there to kill her. Instead, he abducts her, eager to get hold of the $30 Million her brother has pocketed from his badly bent boss. Now they are on the run from said boss—and the FBI.

ReplyDeleteThank you for following! I also have a Bloglovin' follow button up on the left hand side. I must admit I am not that good at making a blog.
