Shiver
by Karen Robards: That
night, Samantha Jones was doing what she always did: just trying to get by.
Left to make her own way on the mean streets of East St. Louis, the pretty
twenty-three-year-old single mother supported herself and her son as best she
could by repo-ing cars. When she hooked her junker of a tow truck up to the BMW
she'd been sent to haul in, the last thing she expected was to find a beaten,
bloody man in the trunk--or to be catapulted into a terrifying fight to
survive. Danny Pantrero was minutes away from dying when Sam found him.
Bleeding badly from a gunshot wound, he'd been snatched from protective custody
by a vicious gang of drug runners who would stop at nothing to see him dead.
With his life on the line, Danny takes Sam hostage. Forcing her to help him, he
tries to make her understand that now she's a target for the killers, too. When
they invade her house and threaten her son's life, she finally understands:
there's no going back. Check Availability
