Nick Lamanto has been shot and is also a person of interests in another shooting. He has been uncover in Tennessee trying to track down the leaders of a gunrunning operation when things went bad. He decides the only way he is going to get out of town is by stowing away in the back of trauma nurse Keri Merritt vehicle since she is on her way out of town for vacation and she is the daughter of the sheriff figuring no one would stop her.When Nick wakes up from passing out from blood loss its to Keri pointing a .45 at him. She decides maybe he isnt the bad guy and stitches him up and realizes there is alot of sexual attraction between them but along with Nick being in law enforcement she has a few other hangups that make her resist the Italian charms of Nick.There was plenty of action and suspense in this book but its wasnt the forefront of the story. The romance was. I had not seen it done this way before - normally in a romantic suspense the suspense is from beginning to end and that is where and how the H/H fall in love. In this book they got to learn alot of things about the other - spend time away from the "suspense" part and when that part was concluded the book still continued on. It was almost like 2 books in one and the merging worked great.
