Runaway heiress Melissa Vanderbilt-Smythe has been causing a passel of trouble the last couple of years and it's bounty hunter Cody Richards' mission to bring her home to the safe bosom of her loving family. But things aren't as Cody's been told. Taking her home may not be safe for either of them--in fact it may be deadly. The man who hired him was not only an abusive fiancé but possibly a killer. Lies and intrigue abound, made all the more confusing by the surprising romance that blazes out of control between Cody and Melissa.
