Into the Firestorm
The BOSS, Inc. bounty hunter always gets his man—and woman. “Plenty of sexual chemistry and danger” from the New York Times bestselling author (Fresh Fiction). M. Cassidy—Luke Brodie had heard the name before, some novice bounty hunter working Seattle, catching tricky skips with more success than a newcomer should expect. But the dark curls, sparkly top, and impressive cleavage were not what Brodie had pictured. Emma Cassidy is tough and smart and sexy as hell. She’s also popping up a step ahead of him every time he’s close to the capture he wants most . . . and there’s no room for learning on the trail of this monster. Emma has idolized Luke Brodie, the bounty hunter who can bring anyone in. The big man in the soft shoes, with a face like a fallen angel and a reputation for breaking hearts. Watching him in action is intoxicating. But her fight with Rudy Vance is fiercely personal. If he gets too close, Brodie will find out just how ferocious she can be . . . Praise for Kat Martin “Kat Martin is a fast gun when it comes to storytelling, and I love her books.”—Linda Lael Miller, #1 New York Times bestselling author “Martin is a terrific storyteller.”—Booklist “She dishes up romantic suspense, sizzling sex and international intrigue.”—RT Book Reviews “[A] master of suspenseful romance . . . Martin doesn''t hold back on the page-turning thrills or steamy love scenes.”—Publishers Weekly
