The job should have been simple—patrol a swank beach that serves as a backyard for Maui's rich, kick out the riffraff, and get a tan in the process. But rent-a-cop Samantha Winters didn't anticipate a deliciously grumpy cop, Sergeant Grady Roark, who comes down to the beach to bust her chops and instead leaves her breathless...and wondering why the one man who could help her seems determined to thwart her at every turn. Grady is keeping secrets from Sam that have him walking the line between attraction and duty. But when Sam becomes the target of a shadowy organization, Grady will have to choose between the law and the temptation of a woman who has him breaking every rule he's ever known. The job should have been easy, but when the bullets start flying, Sam learns nothing is as easy as it seems when you're a Gun for Hire.
