She's on the run... Jane Beaumont currently has in her possession: a cat, a hundred grand in cash, and a pistol. She's on her way home to Bay City, Oregon-and away from the nightmare of her violent ex-boyfriend. She'll lay low at Beaumont Body Shop, a car detailer that runs a private investigation agency in the back. The only wrench in her plan is Magnus Archer: sexy, strong, and intent on protecting Jane at all costs. She's wanted Mag forever, but putting him in harm's way is not a risk she's willing to take. He's not going anywhere Mag is no stranger to the dark side of life, but he's always walked on the right side of the law. Yet when Jane expressed her interest in him years ago, he pushed her away for her own good. Now, after learning of all she's endured, Mag can't leave her side-or hide his need for her. When a frightening situation turns dire, can Mag convince Jane that the safest place to be is in his arms? Approx. 50,000 words.
