New York police lieutenant Eve Dallas is hunting for a ruthless killer. In more than ten years on the force, she's seen it all - and she knows that her survival depends on her insticts. Still, she's going against every warning telling her not to get involved...with Roarke, an enigmatic Irish billionaire - and a suspect in Eve's murder investigation. But passion and seduction have rules of their own, and it's up to Eve to take a chance in the arms of a man she knows nothing about - except the addictive hunger of needing his touch.
