Southern comfort - Karen Kelley

When drug lord Earl Cavenaugh casually orders his two goons to kill her, Fallon Hargis knows her career as a Drug Enforcement Agent is about to end. The last place she expects to die, however, is in a hotel room in Dallas, Texas. But she's not ready to die - and she'll do whatever it takes to survive. Escaping from the thugs in the hotel who are holding her captive, Fallon knows her only chance is to barge into a stranger's hotel room and pretend to be someone she's not - namely, the naked lover of the sexy stranger she's holding at gun point. Getting more than she bargained for with one Wade Tanner, Fallon is in for another surprise when their staged attempt at love making suddenly becomes a little too real. Once Fallon is out of immediate danger, she's got a lot of questions to answer, and Wade-who wants to protect her and senses a lot of pain underneath her rough veneer-offers her a hiding place until she can find out who at the DEA betrayed her and tried to have her killed. As Wade tries to pull her closer and nearer to his heart, Fallon learns that it's not so bad trusting the ones you love...
