To Judge Grace Silva, there are only two things more important than law: her son, Lane, and her memories of the most exciting man she's ever known. It's been years since Grace's affair with Joe Faroe ended because he mistakenly believed she had cost him his career. But when Grace learns her son has become the bargaining chip in a deadly game involving her corrupt ex-husband and a depraved crime lord, she knows Joe is the only man who can help.
Seeing Grace again opens old wounds - and longings - for Joe, who's made his fortune freelancing as a kidnap specialist for a global company. But he can't turn her down. Once back in the shadows, tracking a violent killer, Joe is as ruthless as his prey. Maybe he senses the true nature of his bond with Grace is something worth fighting for, something he'd give his own life to defend.
