The Devil Himself

He's her worst nightmare, a man who can make her forget her duty.
Undercover agent Tomas Mendez has never been good at following rules. So when his handlers put him in a government safe house after 'killing off' the criminal character Tomas had played, he does not stay inside and out of sight as directed. What would be the fun of that? He frequents the small Midwestern town's main watering hole and thus draws the attention of Millerton's self-appointed guardian, Desiree Harris.
Straitlaced Desiree feels it's her responsibility to protect the people of Millerton. A decade earlier her father had embezzled a fortune from the same bank she now heads. Her antenna for trouble sniffs out Tomas immediately. He's exactly the sort of man she's always avoided—the sort who reminds her of her father: fun-loving, carefree, and probably crooked.
Desiree would like to rid the town of this pest especially since the more she discovers about him, the more dangerous he becomes, not only to her town but also to her heart.
