"Hot and oh so sexy good guy and bad, bad, bad girl!!!"

Bounty hunter Austin Taggart took one look at the picture of his new "skip" and saw trouble...raw, unadulterated TROUBLE!!! He turned down the job without a backward glance until a call from his baby sister changed his mind. For Jessica, he'd tackle the very devil himself and Jessica needed money for art classes in France. Gut instincts aside, Austin set out to get his....girl!

Francesca (aka Maxie) Maxwell has skipped town on charges of embezzellment from the local bank where she had worked. Maxie swears she didn't take any money and has gone into hiding while a trusted friend finds the "paper trail" to the real culprit who's framed Maxie. As a waitress in The Lucky Star, Maxie has made many friends and is well loved by all who know her and are more than willing to "assist" Maxie in getting away from her bounty hunter. Getting away doesn't seem to be a problem...it's the staying away that gets harder and harder!

The magnetic pull between these two characters is absolutely captivating and the relationship just sizzles from the very first eye contact! The secondary characters in this book come alive as well and make the reader just want the fun and heat to keep on coming, page after page!!! While Austin is honorable to a fault, and tries to come across as tough and mean, he's got a soft spot a mile wide. And while Maxie is cute and a reckless free spirit, she has as much honor as Austin and needs to prove herself to Austin as well as to her sister, Dorrie.

Ms. Anders has wrapped this book together and tied it with one sexy ribbon! It's a sizzling read and you won't want to miss it!

Summary

AH - YOU WANT TO DO WHAT WITH THOSE HANDCUFFS?

New nightclub owner Francesca "Maxie" Maxwell must use her feminine wiles to escape and elude, Austin Taggart, who's tough, tenacious, streetwise, and hot on her tail. Can she convince the sexy-as-sin bounty hunter that she's an innocent victim, enduring a false arrest charge to save her fledgling club and life Savings? Spending days and nights handcuffed to the irresistible Austin makes her think of other uses for the cuffs-and that perhaps she'd like to bind herself to him for a life sentence.
