Falling for him was not an option…

Because he was bad news. Everything about Jake Norris, from the determined gleam in his eye to his tight, worn denims, screamed rebel with a cause. And Kylie Riordan knew that Jake's probing questions–and soul-searing glances–could only lead to trouble. A true crime writer, he was on a mission, investigating a twenty-year-old murder that implicated several powerful men…including Kylie's father, the senator. If Jake's instincts were right, Kylie would have to choose between family loyalty and the only man who'd ever seen her for who she really was.
