Detective Cora Taylor isn't expecting the cop who'd haunted her dreams for ten years to return and find her drunk, wearing a torn wedding dress, and surrounded with tiny, white puppies. Go figure her rotten luck. The last time they'd met, she'd been a sweet-looking rookie too fearful to shoot a killer who'd ended up later murdering a family of four.
Guilt from that night changed her into a speed demon, a hardened detective with colorful language… in fact a whole new persona. One who wears too much makeup, bleaches her short messy hair, and has developed many professional skills that earns everyone's respect.
Agent Kal Hunter remains flummoxed by the altered vision of the pony-tailed rookie he remembers to the sexy woman he sees today. Being OCD about most things in his world this unconventional female rings his bell constantly. Besides his need to have her assistance in stopping the ten-year-old, cold-case killer who's again on a rampage, there is something about her he can't resist.
She's her own boss, a cop who has no illusions. Yet when her shell is penetrated, there's sweetness that rips a man to pieces.
He has only one worry.
When they meet up with the savage killer this time, will… can she take the shot?
