Book Description:
He is every inch the desperado.

Tough, relentless and a force to be reckoned with, Cord Romero lives for the adrenaline rush that comes with being a mercenary for hire. Risking his neck is all in a day's work.

But this time the job is personal.

Having barely survived a murder attempt, Cord is looking for vengeance. But to get to his target it means joining forces with Maggie Barton.

No longer the impressionable young woman he once knew, Maggie is strong and independent -- and an expert in a profession that places her as Cord's equal. But a tragic secret from Maggie's past threatens her relationship with Cord... and makes her a pawn for his deadly enemy.

Forced to trust each other for their very survival, Cord and Maggie embark on a lethal game of cat and mouse that can leave only one winner standing.

Pretty good read. Cord's treatment of Maggie gets ugly at times, but maybe it justs makes it sweeter when he finally admits he loves her.

This book really swept me into the story! I felt as if I were there through it all as it was happening! Stories and authors like this are hard to come by.

Mercenary Cord Romero and his now grown-up and surprisingly beautiful childhood friend Maggie Barton team up to destroy a child labor ring that is led by Cord's must elusive enemy, the hateful Raul Gruber. Although their relationship is anything but warm when they first start working together, Cord and Maggie soon give in to years of pent-up sexual longing. The character of Maggie Barton has also appeared in the book LORD OF THE DESERT.
