Regan McKinney is worried. She suspects her grandfather, Wilson McKinney, increasing absentmindedness is the onset of Alzheimer's. And, he's missing. Finding a note on his desk calendar she follows her only clue to his possible whereabouts. When she meets up with the all American hero, Quinn Younger, now a defunct criminal, her calm lifestyle is sent into a tailspin. Her career in the paleontology lab at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science has her out of her element with gun smugglers and thieves.

Quinn Younger is recuperating from his last mission that was a complete bust. A member of an unofficially sanctioned group of Special Forces, he lives life breaking all the rules in his strive to stop crime. His team was assigned to retrieve a stolen load of advanced technology assault rifles. Instead they find their big catch is dinosaur bones. How could the fossils be important and why is Roper willing to kill to get them back? And where are the guns that make a 9mm look like a slingshot in comparison?

The allusive and alluring Regan McKinney arrives at the seemingly abandoned decrepit way station. Once Quinn recognizes her, his hopes that the juvenile erotic fantasies had been dispelled, are trashed. Roper Jones and his band of criminals have followed her and are out for his blood no matter who gets in the way.

Quinn assigns 'The Kid', Peter Chronopolous, another reformed juvenile delinquent from Wilson McKinney's offender's program at Rabbit Valley, to protect and guard Nicky, Regan's younger sister, an eccentric Goth artist.

How the hell did suburbia hide the likes of Nikky? As opposite of Regan as night is to day, the Kid falls hard for the pint size beauty. How is he supposed to defend her when he can't take his eyes off her?

Let's here it for the bad boys who like their cars and love their women! Fast paced and exciting, there isn't a moment to breath before the next scene races into action. Tara Janzen has promised us a continuing storyline and I, for one, can hardly wait to read which member of Quinn's team falls in love against his better judgment.
