Mandy Newman won the biggest lottery in history
She and her coworkers picked the right numbers and hit the jackpot… and then someone stole the ticket.
Now Mandy's fellow winners are being murdered one by one, and an attempted drowning convinces Mandy she's next on the killer's hit list. In urgent need of protection and help to recover the ticket, she finds both, wrapped in the sexy form of DEA agent Zachary Taylor.
But Zack abandoned Mandy once before, so relying on him doesn't come easy. If she's going to trust him, he needs to start telling her the truth. And she must do the same--since Mandy has a secret that could devastate them both. While on the run, Mandy and Zack struggle between sparking sensuality and latent distrust. But can they overcome their past as a killer attempts to destroy their future?
Susan Kearney used to set herself on fire four times a day. Now a USA TODAY bestselling author, she does something really hot--she writes romance. She can apply the old rule of "write what you know" and never run out of ideas for characters and plots. An All-American and professional diver, expert in martial arts, sailor, real estate broker and owner of a barter business as well as women's fitness and three hair salons, she has enough material for a lifetime.
Kearney, a native of New Jersey, writes full time. She resides in a suburb of Tampa--with her husband, kids and Boston Terrier. Kiss Me Deadly is her first romantic suspense for Tor Romance.
