AN UNEASY PARTNERSHIP
By-the-book FBI agent Josie Gilbert has no business falling for her confidential informant, but she can’t walk away. She needs this case—her career needs this case. And suave thief turned FBI asset Connor Randall is too deep in the mob syndicate to pull out now. But when the crime boss they are trying to take down becomes a target himself, Josie is forced to take Connor into hiding without blowing his cover. Now, dodging hit men and fighting a perilous attraction, she has to make a life-and-death decision. Can she trust the man who has stolen her heart…or is he working one last con?
“You are a mystery. Are you a bad guy turned good? Or still a con man? I can’t be sure.”
Connor reached up to touch Josie’s hair. “We’ve been together for days and you still don’t trust me?”
“I trust you. I just don’t know what to do about you.”
“What’s there to do?” he asked. “Except your job.”
“I’m not talking about my job,” she said on a husky whipser.
“Then you must be talking about this.” He kissed her, tugging her closer, the feel of her in his arms too strong to resist.
Josie tugged away. “We shouldn’t be doing this. I’m supposed to watch you, make sure you don’t walk away from your obligations.”
“I’ve stopped running. You need to understand that.”
“And you need to understand I won’t be a conquest. I can’t—” A noise stopped her, stopped them both in their tracks.
She grabbed her weapon. “We need to understand that we’re still on somebody’s hit list.”
