It's not that Micayla Lange is afraid of the clinking she hears coming
from the first floor of the empty McMansion she's housesitting for her
uncle Nicco. She's a cop, after all. It's just that finding out her
boyfriend was cheating on her was enough drama for one night. Now she's
alone on New Year's Eve, wearing flannel pajamas and wielding a Glock 22
as she zeroes in on the unmistakable source of the sound: Uncle Nicco's
private office.
Jason Davis steals things for a living, so unexpected developments are a
natural part of the job. Getting caught red-handed by a hot,
pigtail-sporting police officer in what is supposed to be a gangster's
deserted house is just one more twist in the game. Kind of like finding
incriminating photos in Nicco Marino's safe, only to discover the
cop--and the security cameras--have gotten a real good look at his face.
Unfortunately for Mick, she also got a good look at the damned pictures.
Her "uncle" might love her like family, but if he knows she's seen
evidence that implicates him in the murder of a city councilman, she
doesn't like her chances. Which is why she's having a hard time
reconciling her professional instincts with what she is rapidly
concluding is an inescapable fact: She's about to help a criminal get
away with a suitcase full of stolen money. And she's going with him.
Mick and Jason's race for their lives hurtles them through the dangerous
Michigan wilderness on speedboat and snowmobile. As their adventure
heats up and their enemies close in, Mick is torn between her duty to
the force and the combustible passion engulfing her and her unlikely
partner in crime. She'll have to turn Jason in sooner or later...if they
survive. But will they ever get a second chance at love?
