Sabrina Snow was a street kid when she was "adopted" by a CIA handler. Trained as an assassin, she made the mistake of falling in love. Now, she faces a DIE HARD Christmas. Will she survive until New Year's? Sabrina knew she was going to get herself killed if she didn’t get help. Someone was after her, and he wasn't going to stop. She ran to the only man she trusted...the only man who had the skills to save her. Too bad he probably hated her. But she owed him the truth even though she'd wanted to keep the knowledge from him. What if she were killed? John needed to know where to look. If he'd hated her before, what would he feel once he learned the depth of her deception? Navy SEAL John Galloway doesn't trust Sabrina. She lies for a living so how can he? So what's he supposed to do when she shows up in the last place he ever expected to see her? Dead Heat continues the story of the Galloway family and Outlaw Ridge, Texas, a romantic thriller series by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Joan Reeves .
