Out of Time by Lynn Blackburn An attorney in Raleigh, NC, Hope Malone has never let her wheelchair stop her from reaching her goals. She’s established a successful business law practice and enjoys the occasional pro bono work. But when a long-lost friend reaches out for help, Hope finds herself dragged into a world of organized crime, kidnapping, and murder—and right back in the path of the one man she’s determined to avoid, FBI Special Agent Charles Romero. Just days away from arresting the notorious crime boss, Charles never expects Hope—the woman who ghosted him seven weeks ago—to show up at a crime scene and nearly destroy his entire case. If he wants to convince her to give them another chance, he’ll first have to keep her from sacrificing her life to save two innocent ones. ***Out of Time was previously published in the Heroes in the Crossfire collection, which is no longer available.***
