Heart Of The Hunter

Agent: Jeb Tanner Mission: To Protect a Lady Jeb was used to tough assignments, but this latest would be the biggest challenge of his career.

The prey: a ruthless murderer – and his ex-best friend.

The bait: pretty Nicole Callison – the killer's sister.

Jeb knew Nicole would never turn away her own brother, so he renewed their old ties… and waited. But the once-gawky teenager had grown into a seductive – yet too trusting – woman.

And Jeb was powerless to resist the passion that quickly flared between them. But would her love turn to ashes when she discovered the bitter truth – that he could take her brother dead or alive?
