“Lay Low and Live” is what’s kept Bonnie James alive for three years. As resident fix-it girl for a tiny apartment complex in an even tinier Texas town, she makes enough money to pay the bills, but being on the run is lonely. Then Bonnie’s latest one-night stand turns out to be the bounty hunter sent to track her down, and more importantly, find the sister she thought was dead.

Wynn Collier is in big trouble: He’s got to find what Bonnie’s hiding and deliver it to his latest client—On Time Or Else. Manhandling Bonnie violates his personal code, but Wynn is more than happy to use sexier, more entertaining, forms of persuasion to get what he wants.

Living outside the law comes at a high price for the both of them…but so does settling down.

A Delicious, Sexy, and Fun Book

Nailed is a thoroughly engaging book that grabbed me on page one and didn’t let go until The End. Stuart’s writing style is witty and succinct. Loaded with dry humor the story sails along fast.

Julie Burt wasn’t always such a hard ass. She used to shop at Neiman’s, take gourmet cooking classes, and get manicures with her sister. Now? She’s fishing bikini tops out of the pool filter, unclogging sinks, and installing new garbage disposals at Marquez Terrace Apartments in god-forsaken Cielo, Texas. Why? As Julie says, “One thing you had to understand about Cielo, Texas…was that if you weren’t born here, you came here to get lost.”

Wynn Collier’s job is to find people who don’t want to be found. He’s been looking for Julie for over a year and time is running out. The client has a deadline and if Wynn fails to locate Julie and obtain the necessary info there will be hell to pay. In the form of his dad and brother.
Although Wynn has come to admire Julie’s ability to stay under the radar all these months he’s relieved to finally track her down in Cielo. When he discovers her dirty little habit he’s even more delighted. And a lot turned on. Getting the info out of Julie just might be a lot less like a job and more like a lot of fun. Hot, sexy fun.
