Jillian –I caught the brass ring when the President of the United States gave me my dream job as a Federal Court judge. The truth is, I’ve spent a lifetime trying to outrun the chaos of my past. If I let it back in, even for a moment, the walls I’ve carefully built could come crashing down. Now, someone wants me dead and I have no choice but to rely on U.S. Marshal Ray Huckman to keep me safe. But, Huck stirs a dangerous passion inside of me that could consume us both if we give into it. Huck is nothing but chaos wrapped in a sexy package and I don’t know if I can resist.
Huck – As a U.S. Marshal, I’ve dedicated my life to bringing down some of the most dangerous fugitives in the country. I can’t deny I love the rush of it, the danger. The last thing I wanted was to cool my heels playing bodyguard for Judge Jillian Key. Then I met her. She’s smart, stunning, and has a knockout body beneath that black robe. I want her more than I should admit and from the second I touched her, I knew she felt the same. Now Jillian’s been marked for death by a cunning killer. It’ll take every instinct I have to keep her safe.
