When FBI agent Grayson Kincaid first encounters Olivia MacKenzie, she
makes quite an impression.
The beautiful, tough young attorney has stumbled into the middle of an
FBI sting operation and reduced it to chaos. Months of surveillance and
careful planning down the drain, Kincaid's partner is furious and lets
Olivia know that she's ticked off the wrong guy. After all, he's FBI.
But Olivia isn't intimidated by his partner's bullying because she's
something even scarier...she's IRS.
And working for the IRS is no picnic. She's on the trail of an elaborate
Ponzi scheme, one that threatens to ruin the lives of naive and
unsuspecting victims, and one she has personal reasons to be angry
about. But after she asks the wrong people questions, her life is
suddenly endangered. She's accustomed to looking out for others who are
weak, but being vulnerable herself makes her realize she needs help. In
desperation, she calls Grayson Kincaid.
Together they join forces to fight corruption, but Olivia is also
fighting the immediate and intense attraction she feels for Agent
Kincaid, and that may be a battle she is bound to lose.
