Cressida Curtain doesn't let much get under her skin when it comes to bounty hunting. In fact, there's only one person who can really ruffle her fur: her work nemesis, Gavin St. Cloud.

Still, she's a natural at her job, and she's been offered an exclusive high-stakes bounty to prove it. There's just one problem: this bounty may have a link to her family's history, and she has serious doubts about the guilt of the person she's been hired to hunt.

Now it's a race to find the truth before any other hunters find the bounty first. And the truth may be messier than even Cressida imagined. She might need some help from the last person she'd ever ask-if he's trustworthy enough.
