DILLON'S RECKONING

A Child Was Missing

The case was every woman's worst nightmare-a helpless baby, just hours old, stolen from his mother's very arms. And missing-children specialist Adrienne Trudell was prepared to do anything to see that precious little life returned to his rightful home-even if it meant working with the last man in the world she ever wanted to see again .

Detective Judd Dillon had shared a single reckless night of desperate passion with this woman-and he'd spent a long, lonely year trying to forget her. But now their heart-stopping race against time was bringing back all those unwanted memories of the longing that had drawn them together-and the pain that had torn them apart.
