Flat broke after defending his ex-wife from a false murder charge, Nick Mancuso is headed to Jackson, Wyoming. He’s been hired by Cassandra Rogers’s mom to get her wayward daughter back to Maine and in her place on the board of directors of the family company. No girl, no pay.
But Cassandra has matured into a relentless protector of endangered species. She’s also a knockout. She’s collected injured wolves from Yellowstone, orphaned bears from Montana, and monkeys stolen from an actor’s home. Also collected are a couple of hired killers who want the he-man image-destroying pictures she has accidentally taken of the actor.
In this humorous, romantic thriller, Nick has to keep Cassandra from getting whacked and bring her home in one piece. But their mutual attraction could derail the entire mission.
Fast-paced, funny, and more than a bit absurd.

Why do I write like this?
I've always been good at telling a tale. I think it's wrapped up in the small bit of my Irish heritage. Rough around the edges, like my life. My time in the FDNY filled me with memories of absurd and sometimes unbelievable events. It changes the way I look at stories, pushes me outside of the fences. We used to say 'You can't make this shit up.' Now I do and I hope you'll enjoy it.
