Her sexy neighbor turns savior in this next Dangerous in Dallas romance!Despite her job as a wedding planner, Violet Richardson doesn't believe a happy-ever-after is in her future. And when she's kidnapped by a killer, she's surprised that rescue comes in the form of her tempting yet irritating neighbor Max Baldwin.Trying to forget his dark past, Max never meant to take on his attractive neighbor's troubles. But now the bickering pair must outrun a thug who's determined to get his hands on mysterious jewels he thinks are in Violet's possession. And as they race for their lives through Dallas's summer heat, Max and Violet may finally open their eyes to the burning passion they share.

“Max!” Violet screamed, her body half hanging out of the train car.

He swung himself up, his other sleeve snagging on the ladder. “Get inside before you fall off. I know what I’m doing.”

“But you’re stuck!”

He ignored his exasperation, only slightly convinced falling out of the train would make the damn woman believe that she was in danger, and climbed the ladder to the top of the car. The trap door he hoped for greeted him and he jimmied open the top, then slid through and into the car.

The face that greeted him was as welcome as it was irate.

“How’d you know to do that?”

“I played a hunch.”

“What if you’d been stuck there?”

“I wasn’t.”

“But what if—”

Max dragged her forward, crushing his mouth to hers. He spread his legs against the swaying of the train and pulled her even closer, flush against his body.

It wasn’t the time or the situation for romance, but he’d be damned if he let another moment go without touching her.
