"When the Colby Agency and the Equalizers merged, their agents were expected to work together. But the moment Ted Tallant met hotshot investigator Nora Friedman, there were sparks--and not the good kind. Nora was a risk taker, while Ted was a by-the-book kind of guy. When they were sent to Vegas on a case, those sparks turned into something hotter. They were good together--really good. But when an enemy from Nora's past twisted their assignment into something deadly, all hell broke loose. And suddenly skill and attraction weren't enough. They would have to trust each other .. or everyone would die"--Cover verso.
