Finn's in Miami to look into the personal life of boutique manager Roland Green for a lovesick gallery owner, and isn't planning on sticking around.

King noticed Cady Kowalski on the photo shoot he just endured—sexy and confident, with a waifish look that belies the way she corralled him into submission using only a can of hairspray. Yet Cady isn't so confident now. She's bruised, edgy, and desperate to get out of town… For years, Cady has been looking over her shoulder, wondering when the gang of drug runners who killed her brother would come after her. She's grown used to having no one to turn to or trust. But King isn't walking away—not even when their lives are threatened repeatedly.
