What this book is about
Shaw Kinnard is a bounty hunter hired to track down a man who stole twelve million dollars from a crime boss. Jordie Bennett is the thief's sister — reluctantly brought in as leverage in a Louisiana bayou standoff. Shaw and Jordie are forced together in close quarters while the people who want the money close in from all sides. Sandra Brown uses the bayou isolation to maximum effect: no exits, rising danger, and two people who need to figure out which side each of them is actually on.
