But when a simple business trip turns into a dangerous survival game, she is plunged into a world Cole knows all too well. Now Kelsey must trust he knows it well enough to keep them both alive. For Cole, the past was a closed door. Cole Stockton had a will of steel and a raw determination to go after what he wanted – including Kelsey Murdock. “Who writes the best romance fiction today? No doubt it’s Jayne Ann Krentz.&rdq
