Determined, Special Agent Joe Franconi wants only to avenge his father's death. He's put everything in his life on hold, pouring all his energy into building a case against the mob boss responsible for leaving his mother a widow.

Desperate, Megan O'Riley is broke and nearly homeless after trying numerous marketing plans. Her family and friends refuse to hear her latest sales pitch, forcing her to hit the streets knocking on doors in hopes of finally making a sale.

Always steadfast in her determination, Megan unwittingly enters a reputed betting house and is mistakenly identified as a runner and prostitute by Joe. His mission--become her client, infiltrate the mob, and bring his father's killer to justice.

Once secure in his abilities, Joe's well-structured world is turned upside down when Megan comes crashing through the door. Will Joe sacrifice his assignment to keep the woman of his dreams or will the door slam in his face?

About the Author

Captivated by books where trust and integrity are the mainstays, T.A. Ridgell knew she wanted to write stories with those values. The most exciting aspect of becoming a published author is the opportunity to share the characters she�s created. Known to do things the hard way, Terri Ann spent eight disjointed years getting her Bachelors degree in the earth sciences. While teaching middle school, she completed her Masters degree in environmental biology. For the next six years, she became a finance company vice president and ran a sales organization in the Washington, DC area.

On the road to becoming an author, three of her novels placed in four regional contests. This experience, along with some input from a few great writers, helped to make this first book a reality. A staple in business, Terri Ann learned that teamwork is an exceptional tool even in this solitary profession.

When she isn�t sitting at her computer in Florida, she and her husband, Paul, are traveling, playing golf and enjoying life. What she�s come to learn is that the most important things in life are not things.

We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
