Indy's had a crush on Lee Nightingale since childhood, but after years of being ignored, she's finally moved on—except Lee just decided he wants her right when she's determined to keep her distance. When her bookstore employee gets tangled up with some very dangerous criminals and diamonds, Indy finds herself thrust into a world of stun guns, kidnappings, and mystery that keeps pulling Lee back into her life, whether she likes it or not. Now Indy's racing to solve the case before Lee can, determined to prove she doesn't need him—but staying alive is proving harder than expected. It's a high-stakes game where Lee's playing for keeps, and Indy's about to discover that sometimes the person you've been running from is exactly who you need.
