A real body hunter never loses track of his target

Walking away from beautiful Eileen Caldwell had been one of the toughest assignments undercover agent Kyle Landenburg had ever faced. Now, after a frantic phone call, he was back by her side, protecting her from a past that had dangerously resurfaced. Keeping her safe was his job, but even as they dodged bullets, keeping his hands to himself was quickly becoming Kyle's greatest challenge yet. As a seasoned agent, Kyle knew better than to give in to passion when a client's life was on the line. But when she reached for him, would the temptation prove strong enough to make him cross it?

After a career spent spinning words for clients ranging from corporate CEOs to talking fruits and vegetables, Kathleen now finds great joy creating a world of fictional characters, places and plots. After tucking away her writing goals until her first daughter taught her that life is short and dreams are for chasing, Kathleen is now the award-winning author of breathtaking romantic suspense for the Harlequin Intrigue line and romantic comedy for Kensington Publishing.

A RIO Award of Excellence winner and nominee for National Readers' Choice, Booksellers' Best and Holt Medallion awards, her greatest reward can be found in the letters and e-mails she receives from her readers. Nothing makes her happier than knowing one of her stories has provided a few hours of escape and enjoyment, offering a chance to forget about life for a little while.

Along with her husband, infant daughter and one very neurotic Sheltie, Kathleen divides her time between suburban Philadelphia and the New Jersey seashore, where she can often be found with hands on keyboard--bare toes in sand--weaving tales. After all, life doesn't get much better than that.
