Blurb: When F.B.I. agent Ryan Tucker gets the job of escorting a federal witness to court in D.C., he thinks it’s just another boring case on his downhill slide from the top. And then the fireworks start.
In Miami, the alcoholic and mediocre F.B.I. agent is assigned to bring the witness Jackson O’Malley from Miami to Atlanta for what promises to be a minor federal trial. Tucker travels there to find that Jackson is an intelligent, belligerent and gorgeous young man who tells him the odds are against his ever showing up in court alive.
Tucker learns Jackson will actually be testifying against a Colombian drug cartel, but there’s one serious problem. It’s his twin brother Dylan who saw the murder and Jackson never saw anything. After a serious and almost successful attempt on their lives at the airport in Miami, Tucker learns that someone in the F.B.I. doesn’t care who Jackson is. They simply want him dead, and think that Tucker is expendable as well. Not knowing who they can trust, Tucker and Jackson find a car and start driving toward Georgia and the federal judge familiar with the case.
Somewhere during that long, dangerous drive, they both learn face the truth about themselves and those they trust, as well as their own inner strengths. With everyone out to get them, they’re forced to rely on instinct and ingenuity if they are going to make it to out of this thing alive.

Review: This is not the first book that I have read written by Shannon but it is the first romantic suspense. It comes off very dark and a bit too wild for me. I didn’t much care for it, even though the characters were a blast.
Jackson would do everything and anything for his twin Dylan. That included getting him out of trouble that would definitely get him killed. He just hadn’t expected to spend three days in jail, or the unexpected surprise of the FBI.
Ryan had lost his wife a little over two years ago, but he continues to feel guilty. So when he was asked by his boss to bring back a witness, he was surprised but willing. He just hadn’t expected to actually like the guy he was sent to get, nor the danger that was waiting. It would seem that Jackson was not the only one with surprises.
After reading this I will definitely look at twins a bit different. There are a lot of surprises and twist to this story. Now it wasn’t my kind of story but I got to say it is a blast to read. There is no hint on who is behind it all and when the truth came out my jaw just dropped. It is a story that will definitely have you guessing, looking at all of the angles and a bit turned on. I would recommend reading this story.
