Bait - Karen Robards

It's a business trip that takes advertising agency owner Maddie Fitzgerald to New Orleans, but it is hardly business as usual when a man breaks into her hotel room and tries to kill her. Barely escaping with her life, she soon finds herself face-to-face with FBI agent Sam McCabe. Unnerved by his questions - and his good looks - Maddie is told she's been targeted by an elusive killer whom McCabe has been tracking for weeks. Yet when a woman with the same name, staying at the same hotel is found murdered, and it appears her attack was a case of mistaken identity, a shaken Maddie is given the all-clear to go home.

McCabe is ruffled, not just by Maddie's sexiness, but by an inescapable feeling that's she's got something to hide. So when she is attacked for the second time, McCabe insists that the only way to catch the killer is to use her as bait. Maddie is far from happy about it, but has little choice. Reluctantly, she allows McCabe to shadow her...

Such close proximity causes their obvious chemistry to develop into a romance. But can they mix business with pleasure and still keep an eye on the 'trap'. And can Maddie's secret remain a secret forever? A sexy, suspenseful new thriller from 'one of the most popular voices in women's fiction' Newsweek
