Publisher Description
Savvy, hard-riding, rule-breaking—they'll go anywhere and do anything it takes to protect and serve. But this U. S. Marshal has just met his match—and playing for keeps is one sizzling game. . .
Getting saved from disaster by a handsome stranger—Harper Allen has no problem with that. But when he leaves without a word or a clue to his real identity, the newbie reporter writes it off as the best one-night-stand she'll ever have. Until a year later, when Harper comes face to face with the man assigned to hide her from a senator's killer. . .
Galen Kelly hasn't forgotten a single sensual minute of his night with Harper . . . or that she betrayed him. With the FBI also on their trail, he's got to pretend he's never met her or risk both their lives. But as danger closes in, Galen may not be able to protect himself from taking the biggest risk of all. . .

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Baxter's debut romantic suspense, set in Portland, Ore., pairs U.S. Marshal Galen Kelly and reporter Harper Allen in a steamy one-night stand that ends in misunderstanding when Galen reads a text from Harper's ex-boyfriend. One year later, Harper witnesses a senator's murder and Galen is assigned to guard her until she can testify. Though Harper has carried a torch for Galen, he pretends he doesn't remember her, both because admitting personal involvement would require him to drop the case and because he still feels betrayed. However, he can't resist keeping tabs on her even when he's off-duty. Their estrangement continues until Harper confronts him and Galen realizes he wants her more than he fears betrayal. Meanwhile, Harper inveigles Galen into helping her investigate the senator's portentous last words, which puts them both in greater danger. Galen's unprofessional behavior and Harper's risk-taking are implausible, but readers who care more about wit than plot will appreciate the snappy dialogue.
