author: Miller, Julie
description: Loner Ethan Cross doesn't trust anyone -- it's all part of the job for an undercover cop. So is his suspicious mind just working overtime . . . or is his pretty new neighbor really hiding something?
  
  Callie Sullivan doesn't know whom to trust. She witnessed the murder of her employer, but when the police arrived to investigate, the body was nowhere to be found. Labeled an unreliable witness, Callie wouldn't dream of turning to the police for help when the killer begins making threatening phone calls, so she goes into hiding. What she doesn't know is that her sexy new neighbor is really an undercover cop.
  Ethan Cross has cultivated the role of a dangerous loner. It is all part of his job with the Kansas City Police Department. But the lies and danger he's had to deal with on a daily basis are starting to get to him, and he's almost forgotten how to connect with real people. Is it his cop's imagination working overtime, or does his pretty new neighbor seem to be hiding something?
