Lance was involved in a shooting, with the local football star the victim (but it's justified!) and really need to get out of town. Mandy's husband had disappeared and a goon tried to kidnap her and only her quick wits let her survive the experience. Cops sent her away from New Orleans to keep her safe, and Lance just came off as arrogant unbeliever who considered her a suspect instead of a victim. When assassins arrive on the scene and Lance rescued Amanda, they go on the run, but assassins keep finding them even when all links had been cut. Who's being targeted: Mandy, or Lance? And how are the assassins finding them? When Sheriff Tate himself arrested Mandy for suspicion of murder, Lance had to decide whether his feelings for Mandy has affected his judgment...
The feelings between the two are real as Lance's instincts tell him that Mandy is NOT a gold digger who wanted to do away with her husband, but why are all the evidence pointing that way? Mandy, on the other hand, knew that she had been a victim, and her husband was very good in covering up the truth... The plot points are actually quite good and the one major question was answered at the end. My one nitpick is Sheriff Tate's arrest of Mandy, as it seems to be forced and rushed (and bail was only 100K?) Otherwise, nice tight suspense romance

Primary Plot: Deputy being temporarily exiled out of town was sent to guard a witness whose husband may be involved with organized crime; both ran when assassins came after them... why?
Overall Rating: 4/5
