Dirty Little Lies

When a small-town beauty queen becomes a target, a rugged federal agent sets out to investigate--only to find that there's more to her than meets the eye. Pageant winner Lacie Jo Baxter was born and bred to dazzle; with the perfect smile, the perfect figure, the perfect facade of heartland innocence. But deep inside are pent-up desires and a daring that's never been tested--until an abductor nearly snatches her up. Improvising a weapon out of her twirling baton, Lacie fends off the attacker, then comes face-to-face with the kind of man they don't make in Kansas anymore. Chicago-born FBI agent Ben Camaglia has a taste for the good life, an eye for women, and a knack for combining the two. Exiled from the Windy City, Ben expects to crack this little kidnapping caper and return to the big leagues. Instead, he quickly discovers that beneath Lacie's incredible looks is a cocktail of lies and secrets. Sparks fly when they're together, but danger swirls around a woman who is so irresistible that someone will not let her go.
