ABOUT THE BOOK
Grace is a
bounty hunter who wants to be taken seriously, but her boss refuses to believe
that a woman can bring down a dangerous criminal. She finally gets a chance to prove herself
when she's given the case of a lifetime: capture Raide Knox and bring him to
justice.
Raide is a
dangerous fugitive on the run...and the sexiest man Grace has ever met.
Catching Raide won't be easy. He's not
the kind of man to go down without a fight.
Raide is more intense and frustrating than any man she's ever had to
deal with, and the instantaneous attraction that sparks between them is
undeniable. One thing is for sure...it's going to be a case they will never
forget.
Excerpt
“I’m freaking out, Kady,” I whisper
down the phone. “How the hell am I supposed to get him in?”
“With your mind,” she says with
amusement in her voice. “And your body.”
I frown. “My body?”
“Don’t you see? You’re looking at
this all wrong. You’re expecting to be able to just go over and drag him in but
you can’t do that. Whether you like it or not, you don’t have the physical
power to bring a man his size in. So start thinking outside the box.”
She’s piqued my interest. “Go on.
. . .”
“Seduce him.”
I blink. “Excuse me?”
She huffs as if my question is
completely unwarranted. “Seduce him.”
I laugh nervously. “Kady, I met him
and basically abused him for being a player. Then I told him girls like me never sleep with men like him, and now you’re asking me to
approach him and try to make him believe I’m interested?”
“Precisely.”
I close my eyes. “Yeah, that’s not
going to happen.”
“What are you going to do, then?”
she challenges. “Waltz up to him and order him to come in? He’ll run before you
get your damned gun from your purse.”
I laugh. “I know how to use my gun,
thank you very much—I’m just not allowed to use it unless it’s life or death.”
“Seriously, Gracie,” she says,
softer now. “Think about it. You seduce him, get him interested, then you set
him up. You could do something as simple as making him drop you to work one day—and,
bam, he’s in.”
She makes a really good point.
“He’s not just going to grow an
attraction to me overnight.”
“What?” She giggles. “A man isn’t
just going to fall at your feet? Gasp.
But seriously, that man was undressing you with his eyes. I don’t think you’ll
have a problem.”
I snort. “Shut up—he was not.”
“He was so, and you can do it. I
know you can. Just drop the charm on him, and you’ll have him panting.”
It’s actually not a bad idea. It
would be an easy way of getting Raide in without alerting him or having to
wrestle him. I might be trained, but a man his size wouldn’t be easy to move.
Being a bounty hunter isn’t always easy. We have to track down criminals and
bring them in for their trials, things like that. It isn’t always a walk in the
park, a good deal of them run or attempt to assault us, so we’re always on our
feet.
“I’ll think about it, but it is a
good plan.”
I hear her clap and squeal. “While
you’re at it, get some of that fine ass for yourself.”
“I think that’s against the code.
. . .”
“Not if it’s kept secret.” She’s
grinning—I can hear it in her voice.
I laugh, flopping down onto my
couch. “You’re a rebel, Kady…”
…I hang up and lean back against
the soft cushions of the couch. Seduce Raide Knox, prove my team wrong, and get
the chance to expand my career. It all sounds simple, but I have no doubt
whatsoever that it won’t be. Raide is a hard man, and he’s going to think I’m a
great big joke when I turn up, trying to seduce him. I can only hope he’s
seducible.
Things are about to get
interesting.

ALPHA BOOK CLUB REVIEW
“I turn and see Dean standing at the bar, smiling over at me. I have to compose myself quickly, because I’m shocked to see him standing there. I gather myself and give him a light hearted shrug as I take him in. Dean isn’t a bad-looking man. He’s tall, quite well built, and has the darkest brown eyes I’ve ever seen.”
5 stars!! I love Bella Jewel’s books and this one was no different!!! This story was so well written and the characters were so well developed you feel like you are a part of the story as you read along!

There’s so much witty banter between the two and then finally Raide has had enough and he turns into the alpha we are all hoping and waiting for!!! Ugh this book is so sexy and steamy, my kindle almost melted!!!
