TO THE MAX
Harlequin Temptation
April 2005

FBI agent Max Dolinger would never move in on a friend’s girl, even if the friend wasn't much of a friend and the girl was very much a woman. That’s why he steered clear of Sara Reynolds during a wedding weekend in which he could barely take his eyes off her.

But now Sara and his one-time friend Larry Brunell are no longer together, and Sara has come to him for a favor. Larry is missing along with thousands of dollars which Larry may or may not have gotten in a con in cahoots with Sara's teenage brother, who insists it’s all a big misunderstanding. But the victim is threatening to go to the cops unless he gets the money back soon.

What's by-the-book Max to do when Sara asks him to track Larry down without involving the cops?

Especially when he suspects that neither Larry nor Sara's brother are as innocent as she thinks they are. And that by listening to his conscience, he'll lose the woman he's come to love.
