About the Author
Award-winning, best-selling author Metsy Hingle says writing romance novels seemed a perfect career choice for her since she grew up in one of the world's most romantic cities -- New Orleans. "I'm a true romantic who believes there's nothing more powerful or empowering than the love between a man and a woman. That's why I enjoy writing about people who face life's challenges and triumph with laughter and love." Metsy has gone on to make that prediction a reality, with her books frequently appearing on national bestseller lists and garnering awards--among them the R.W.A.'s prestigious Golden Heart Award, and both a W.I.S.H. Award and a nomination for Best Silhouette Desire by Romantic Times Magazine. Known for creating powerful, passionate stories and characters, Metsy's books are among readers' favorites. As much as Metsy loves being an author, it's her role as wife and mother that she holds most dear. Recently she turned in her business suits and fast-paced life in the hotel and public relations arena to pursue writing full time. According to Metsy one of the greatest joys of being an author is hearing from fans. She would love to hear from you. E-mail Metsy at metsy@metsyhingle.com, or write to Metsy at P.O.

FROM THE PUBLISHER

"I'll pay you one million dollars to find my wife and son."

Ex-cop turned bounty hunter Michael Sullivan doesn't think any woman is worth that kind of money, but a job is a job.

All he has to do is make the phone call... Just drop in the quarter and tell his client he's earned his money. Lily Webster and her son are in New Orleans, where she's working as a waitress. One phone call and he can collect a cool million bucks...and forget the beautiful woman who seems to be hiding something.

Too late, he realizes he's made a mistake.... Only after he's made the call does he begin to realize what he's done. In the blink of an eye Michael Sullivan becomes Lily's only chance for survival. Now all he has to do is convince her to trust him. But why would she put her life -- and the life of her son -- in the hands of the man who betrayed her?
