Researching the cool, blue-eyed and dashingly handsome man at the end of the bar stirred her senses more than she wanted to admit.  But was this man of leather armor all he appeared to be?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlaying White Knight to an innocent wasn't how Detective Jake Santos planned to spend his time under cover.  But there was no way \"CJ\" was what she claimed to be and that nagging tightness in Jake's chest told him he'd better take her home to safety and leave it at that.  Then the barroom exploded with gunfire, leaving a trail of dead that includes a notorious Providence crime boss and an undercover FBI agent.  When Cassie's name is leaked to the media as the only witness to the grisly murders, Cassie insists she only trusts Jake to protect her.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe FBI wants their star witness happy and will do anything to make sure Cassie testifies.
