THEY WERE A KIDNAPPED HEIRESS'S LAST CHANCE…As a Confidential agent, Isabelle Rush's assignment included tracking down and rescuing a kidnapped heiress in South America–not encouraging the attention of her infuriatingly gorgeous and highly skilled partner, Rafe Montoya. Between the stray bullets surrounding them and the local cops arresting them, remaining focused was key to their survival. But time was running out and their high-stakes mission was putting Isabelle's undercover training to the ultimate test. Now, she would do all she could not to fall prey to an elusive enemy…or to Rafe's playboy charms.

Thank you for all your help and support! I would also like to thank my

wonderful editor, Allison Lyons, and the fabulous writers I was lucky to

be working with on Miami Confidential: B.J. Daniels, Kelsey Roberts

and Mallory Kane. My most sincere appreciation to Tracy Montoya, one

of my favorite writers, for helping me with those Spanish expressions.

Miami, U.S.A.

June 20, 2006

Jose Fuentes waited in the back of the vintage limousine for his victim and watched the street, aware of a number of things at once: the expensively dressed man and woman exiting Weddings Your Way—looking less than happy—the few cars passing by, the comfort of the spacious backseat beneath him. His fingers fluttered over the black leather in a soft caress. Maybe when this was all over he would get his own limo. Or maybe not. Better not draw attention to his person or his wealth.
