No one knew what Noah Graydon looked like, but they'd all heard the rumors. How he'd been broken, even scarred, on his last case. How he never showed his face...until the day he took an overwhelming interest in one very special agent. Angel Carter would have been a serial killer's next victim if not for Noah. The rescue gave her a glimpse into his world of shadows--yet she dared to want more. To really know if the passion between them was real. They would have to come face-to-face if the killer was to be caught--and Noah could only conceal his body from Angel for so long....First--she'd left without a word. Second--he hadn't chased her down. Now they had to face their past under heated circumstances. And SWAT team hostage negotiators Jolie Conrad and Dace Recker couldn't let their simmering feelings explode. Because they'd suddenly become partners--and targets for a thwarted felon with revenge on the brain. Staying alive would push them to the limit--but staying away from each other might just push them over the edge.... First--she'd left without a word. Second--he hadn't chased her down.
