Lucy, former Las Vegas showgirl, has been alerted that stalker Emmett has escaped from prison and probably trying to find her. She's put into hiding in plain sight in a retirement community in Florida as the new activities director. Along with Emmett, her boyfriend, Reid, and family are trying to locate her. Emmett breaks into her house and hides in a closet when he hears someone else come in - Reid who's delivering a Christmas tree. The police arrest him and Emmett alerts the local media that he's been captured. Lucy's sister reads the story and sends a text to Lucy who makes the mistake of phoning her and the hired gun Emmett hired to trace her phone has a lock on her location. Will Reid or the marshall's service find Emmett before he finds Lucy?I'm a fan of Rita Herron's Harlequin Intrigues so this novella was very different from what I normally expect from her. It was funny and a quick read. I didn't get The Bachelor Pact part of the title other than about one sentence where Reid and a couple of his friends (now married) had vowed to remain lifelong bachelors. Perhaps this title makes more sense when one has read the other novellas in the series. The only thing I noticed about this book was weird formatting. I read this on my Kindle app on my iPad - that might have had something to do with it. Not annoying formatting. The book was still very easy to read.
