Next Time Around

Sixteen years ago, the love of my life walked out on me. Left me lying face-down on a wharf while she ran off with some low-life mobster's son named Armando. Now this gorgeous dame's back, begging for my help. Telling me I'm the only one who can save her daughter from getting whacked. Knox Harper is nobody's whipping boy. If Myrna Crosby thinks she can just waltz back into my life with no consequences, she's got another think coming. No matter how hard she pulls at my heart strings, I can't let her in again. The pain is still too fresh. But I can't let an innocent, seven-year-old girl die either. I guess that leaves me and my battered heart between a rock and a hard place.
