In New York Times bestselling author Karen RobardsâÈçs latest heart-pounding romantic suspense novel, a reckless former detective knows too much, and a hostage negotiator is forced to join him on the run for his life.

Caroline Wallace is one of New Orleans PDâÈçs top hostage negotiators, and sheâÈçs never failed to get every hostage out alive. But this time, itâÈçs different. This time, the hostages include her bossâÈ'the chief of policeâÈ'and the mayor. And this time, sheâÈçs trying to negotiate with Reed Ware, a former co-worker who left the force disgraced, under investigation by Internal Affairs, and worst of all, considered to be extremely dangerous.

As police snipers arrive on the scene and manage to get a clear shot of Reed, Caroline knows she only has a few moments left to persuade the hot-headed, reckless (and extremely handsome) Reed to let the hostages go and turn himself in before anyone gets hurt. When the SWAT team runs out of patience and launches an attack, Reed takes Caroline hostage and manages to escape with her in the chaos. During the escape, Reed reveals to Caroline that heâÈçs uncovered corruption at the highest levels of the police department and New Orleans city government, and those involved will stop at nothing to keep him from exposing what he knowsâÈöincluding murder.

Now, the normally cool, calm, by-the-book Caroline is forced to question everything she thought she knew about her job and her city and join Reed on the runâÈöputting both her lifeâÈ'and her heartâÈ'in jeopardy.
