Desperate measures

by Paula Detmer Riggs

MISSING! Judge Amanda Wainwright's daughter had been kidnapped, and the price of her freedom was a verdict in favor of a notorious crime boss. It was a price she couldn't pay--but how could she live with herself if she didn't do everything in her power to save her daughter's life? Enter Devlin Buchanan, cowboy-lean, ex-FBI, and the answer to Amanda's prayers. Once he was on the kidnappers' trail he was ruthless, all business, unstoppable. But he also had another side. Beneath his dangerous surface lived a man with a heart, a man who dreamed of love and laughter, a man who longed to share his life with Amanda.
