Safety in numbers? Depends on what you mean by safe…

Bridget Wilder's life is shot to hell—literally—when she witnesses the murder of her best friend, Lyle. Protective custody? What a joke. Time after time, someone has leaked her whereabouts, forcing her to run from one safe house to the next.

Tired of cold, lonely beds and living in fear, Bridget convinces her guardian cop she's safer off the grid, following Lyle's trail of clues to a missing flash drive that could put the killer behind bars.

It doesn't take twins Mark and Matt James long to figure out two things. Bridget's not only in trouble, she is trouble—they both want her. When things get a little hot and heavy one night, though, they're stunned to discover that they don't mind sharing. And she loves being shared.

Between the James brothers' hot, hard bodies, Bridget finally feels safe—and loved. When a hit man tracks her down, the last thing she wants is for them to place those bodies between her and danger. But those cowboys have other ideas. Like keeping her alive long enough to convince her she belongs with them. Forever.
