The Agent: Conrad Burke, alias Connor Ducharme
His Motto: "Always work alone."
The Assignment - and Complication: Team up with one headstrong, pregnant woman to catch a criminal....
With a resolve as cold as steel and a thirst for vengeance, U.S. marshal-turned-Confidential-agent Conrad Burke tracked his quarry like a Wild West hero of old. Until the trail led to his downfall - the one woman he'd always loved. Marilyn Langworthy, billionaire's daughter - and after one reckless night, mother of Con's unborn child.
His quest placed her in jeopardy. But although the mobster he sought took no prisoners, only Marilyn had the key to bring the man down. Now Con would move heaven and earth to keep Marilyn safe....

About the author
Harper Allen
31 books29 followersHarper Allen is a Canadian writer of romance novels. She is a four-time nominee for a Career Achievement Award by Romantic Times Book Reviews magazine and her novel Dressed To Slay was named the magazine's choice for Best Silhouette Bombshell of 2006.
Her Irish ancestry lends them a touch of Celtic mysticism, while her work as a reporter in the criminal court system gives her books a darker edge, first and foremost each one is a story about a man and a woman falling in love and holding on to that love. Her characters have always been real people with real flaws, desperately struggling to find the love that will redeem them - and for that Harper need look no further for inspiration than her own life.
Harper grew up in a blue-collar motor city, and with comments such as "Does not play well with others" on her grade-school report cards. Underneath the motorcycle leathers and the rose tattoo, beats the heart of a true romantic. The day she met the man who eventually became her husband, she told her sister, "I've just met the man I'm going to marry. How long do you think it'll take him to figure it out?" They married, and had little kids, who aren't the first ones picked for the volleyball team. Her idea of a great date with her husband is going to a baseball game. Her idea of a great baseball game is any one in which the Red Sox win.

Enjoyed Cons character as he goes after the girl that was always meant to be his!
Liked How Marilyn's character changed and became who she was meant to be when she received the love that she had always needed.
Strange how the family interweaved. Tho I'm still wondering what's been going on with Colleen and Dax. And since I missed a book, I didn't understand how Fiona ended up with the governor who is now family to Marilyn and Con!
Good read! Looking forward to the next one, which should solve many of these problems!

I am officially in love with Creole US Marshalls from New Awlins. But the title is misleading - this is not in any way about a cowboy or even a cowgirl.
