DEA agent Alexander Cobb dismissed Jodie Clayburn eight years ago with brutal finality. Now an undercover drug operation forces them back into the same orbit in Jacobsville, Texas. Cobb barely recognizes the former schoolgirl. Jodie has transformed into a woman whose quiet beauty catches him off guard and awakens feelings he thought buried. The cynical agent needs her help to crack a smuggling ring that threatens their small town. Working together ignites a dangerous attraction neither expected. Cobb wants to possess and shield Jodie from the violence closing in around them. He built his reputation on always capturing his target. This time his quarry is the woman who could either complete his mission or destroy his carefully maintained control. The case puts both their lives at risk, but the desire burning between them might prove the greater threat.
