HE KNOWS ALL HER SECRETS... Max Roper never lets emotion get in the way of his job -- not since the tragic shooting that killed his fiancée's father. Now the former DEA agent is a Bullet Catcher, and he's managed to block out Cori's bitter goodbye -- and their sizzling passion. Those dangerous desires come back with a vengeance when Max is assigned to protect a recently widowed heiress: who turns out to be Cori. But Max must also discover his ex's dark secret...and they both know she can't hide anything from him. ...AND HOW TO USE THEM AGAINST HER Her luxury lifestyle suggests that Cori has gone from being a trophy wife to a merry widow, but nothing could be further from the truth. Suspicious of her billionaire husband's sudden death, she hires a bodyguard. But her protector is the one man who can melt her every defense -- the one man she blames for her deepest sorrow, the one man whose six-feet four-inches of solid muscle ignites reckless passion in her. And as they close in on a killer who hides in plain view, their high-stakes affair could cost her everything...including her life. Editorial Reviews From Publishers Weekly Former DEA agent Max Roper finds love again in this well-balanced romantic suspense novel, the second installment of St. Claire's Bullet Catcher series. Max is a member of the Bullet Catchers, an elite team of bodyguards made up of former government agents. His latest assignment is to protect Cori Peyton, widow of recently murdered billionaire William Peyton. Five years ago, Max and Cori were a couple on the verge of engagement; when Cori's father, Max's old partner at the DEA, died in a drug bust gone bad, Cori blamed Max, and ended their affair. Dogged by both the rekindling passion between them and suspicions about the secretive Cori's motives--did she kill her husband?--the stoic bodyguard delves into Cori and William's life by whatever means necessary: [H]e knew a million ways to get information. With Cori, a million and one. As Max and Cori discover that she's a target for the mystery killers, the two uncover an intricate web of greed and deceit that traces back to Peyton Enterprises. St. Claire's ability to evenly match sultry romance with enticing suspense make this novel a superior entry into the romantic suspense game. (Aug.) Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. From Booklist After her brief but passionate romance with DEA agent Max Roper ended, law student Cori Cooper married billionaire William Peyton, an older man whom she'd grown to love. Five years later, Cori is a widow and heir to a massive fortune, and someone is trying to kill her. In a capricious twist of fate, Max, now a member of the elite Bullet Catcher security force, finds himself assigned by the agency to be Cori's bodyguard, something that pleases neither one of them. All evidence points to Billy, Cori's disgruntled, alcoholic stepson as the guilty party, but it soon becomes obvious that an insider, someone Cori trusts, is the person trying to do her in. Old flames rekindle as Max tries his best to protect Cori. St. Claire, who writes fast-paced, sexy romantic suspense (Killer Curves, 2004; Hit Reply, 2004), has once again penned a book that will keep the reader engrossed in the story from cover to cover.
