About the book
Lanky bar owner Dane Randolph could charm the rattle off a rattlesnake, yet his new waitress, a mysterious Cajun beauty, seemed to resist his charms. She was so secretive that he began to believe he'd hired a criminal on the run.
Stevi James needed to hide from her past. A secluded bayou bar surrounded by cypress and honeysuckle was the perfect spot. Then a favor for her mesmerizing boss thrust her into a perilously public spotlight, where danger was bound to find her.
Stevi had to run again, but Dane stood in her way. Although she desperately wanted his love, she had to persuade him that helping her could be hazardous to his health... and her heart.
