"What a delight to discover Samantha A. Cole's Malone Brothers! I devoured this book and am amazed to learn this was her first novel - ever. I'm reading the second book now and am going to be watching for more of Samantha's brand of sexy romantic suspense in the future!" (USA Today best-selling romance author Kallypso Masters)

KC Malone is on a four-week leave from the navy when he arrives at his uncle’s beach house to find a beautiful woman pointing a gun at his chest. What the hell has he just walked in on? 

Moriah Jensen is on the run from dirty cops and ruthless drug dealers. Fleeing Chicago after her family was murdered, she spends the next four months trying to stay alive. Using an alias, she bounces from town to town, state to state, struggling to stay steps ahead of the people chasing her. 

As the two become reluctant temporary housemates, KC offers to train Moriah to defend herself against an alleged abusive ex-boyfriend. But when her past catches up with her, Moriah has to decide between her love for KC and running for safety. To stay would risk both their lives. To run would mean leaving her heart behind.
