Hitchhiking is dangerous. Picking up a hitchhiker even more so. Amy Squires knows this but as an ex-cop and private security consultant she feels safe enough to pick up a young woman thumbing a ride on a blistering hot day. A surprising attraction smolders between them, but they part company-until later that night when Kael Harding reappears outside Amy''s hotel room.Never one to question her instincts, Amy welcomes what seems to be an uncomplicated one night stand. The morning brings another surprise-Kael is anything but a carefree young woman hitchhiking her way across the country.While perfectly willing to stand up for victims and their rights, and known to push the limits, everything Amy believes about herself and justice is challenged by Kael-and exactly how far Kael is willing to go. How can a future possibly be considered when the risks are so high?
