title: The Wicked Chase
author: Burns, Karen Sue
description: When $25 million is stolen from her employer, a relationship-phobic accountant hunts for the thief alongside a handsome bachelor who keeps a devastating secret from her. Dallas Wells considers her life as it should be—calm, relaxed, and free of relationship entanglements. The theft of a twenty-five-million-dollar gift to her employer, Houston Cullen University, throws her life into over drive as she’s appointed to work with the police. The search for the thief becomes complicated as she’s accompanied by Logan Rice, the donor of the gift. Distrustful and wondering if Dallas is the thief, Logan accompanies her on a trip to Las Vegas and then to Rome, in pursuit of Dallas’s co-worker who she rationalizes is responsible. Logan has financial resources that enhance their search and he soon realizes Dallas is innocent. This only makes her more attractive to him, emotionally and physically. As they race from city to city, Logan is determined to win over Dallas and convince her they have a chance as a couple. But Logan’s wealth and social position are the opposite of Dallas’s middle-class life, and he devastates her by withholding information about his past. Yet she soon discovers what is most important to her, and that is Logan.
