Allison Marble's hopes of attending an amazing writer's conference shatter when bundles of cash spill out of her gym bag instead of makeup. Who switched bags with her?

Teetering on the brink of panic, she asks the LAPD Detective she shared a taxi with from Union Station for advice. Fearing for her life, Carlo declares the conference off limits and insists the television crime reporter relocate to a safe house until he catches the suspected drug runner.

Allison balks. Carlo wants to strangle her. His Captain places Carlo in charge of the team of undercover officers called in to assure Allison's safety. To attend the conference she must obey Carlo. The feisty writer objects.

Forced together, tension flares. Their attraction to each other flames. Will this alpha Detective keep Allison safe, catch the perp, accept he cannot save everyone and surrender his heart to the feisty reporter?
