Since turning against her boyfriend, a Mexican drug lord, Kate has been on the run. Unable to trust the FBI's witness protection program, she relies on her wits. After moving to small town in Alaska and changing her identity a few times, she begins to relax. Then she witnesses an execution style murder and knows she's been discovered.She goes to the local police and tells them everything. The Sheriff, knowing he is out of his depth calls in reinforcement. Meanwhile, he assigns Sam, an officer, to protect her. Kate's well-honed instincts tell her to run.  She is trying to do just that but the bad guys are making it hard.I love the Kate Jones series. Kate is a woman I can identify with and in this installment we are treated to a bit of a romance between her and Sam. I can't say enough about Sam's character. This is a short story not focused on him, but his character development is superb. He's not the typical hunky hero who feels a bit like a cardboard cut out, he's three dimensional and believable. I wanted these two people to get it on!D.V. Berkom does a fantastic job keeping Kate level headed and focused on keeping herself alive while developing the doomed romance. Add to that the non-stop action and you have a story that's impossible to put down. Excellent! More, give me more!
