Pick a window, any window.... When he breaks into Charlotte ‘Charlie’ Gracen’s spare bedroom in the middle of the night, gutshot and bleeding out, Jake Harris has one goal—survive long enough to find the monster who killed his mother. He doesn’t expect to be distracted by the mousy, reclusive artist or to entangle her in his mission, but fate has other ideas. Charlie has spent her life avoiding trouble, more than happy to keep her head down and stay in her safe space, but now trouble has found her—in the form of one sexy, Australian art thief. Helping a wounded man is one thing. Anything more is out of the question. But between being stalked by contracted killers, a US Marshal and a Polish crime lord with an agenda of his own, Charlie finds herself being pushed out of her shell—and turning to Jake for more than protection. Caught up in a net of international intrigue and forces beyond their control, will Jake and Charlie find what they're both looking for before it's too late? A sizzling, globe-trotting romance in the vein of Nora Roberts and Maya Banks.
