"Playing the odds has always been Fin Borders' forte. She knows when to get out to keep from losing everything. But an innocent woman has been accused of murder, and to help, Fin will have to go back to the small southern town of her birth. It's a place she's been running from her entire life, a place of violence, where she got by with nothing more than her wits. Returning to Hallden, Georgia, means facing the ghosts of a brutal crime that Fin will never forget--and risking her own life. But Fin isn't the only one in Hallden hunting for a killer. FBI Special Agent Caleb Matthews is deep undercover, hiding his true identity and his own desperate history. Working alone is far too dangerous, so he and Fin must learn to trust each other. But as they grow closer, they are unprepared for the passion that takes hold...and the shocking deception that could destroy everything they hold dear."--p. [4] of cover.

I wish I loved this more! I liked the first in the series (Reckless) more than this one - there was much of the same energy and I like the central trio of spunky female friends, but the main romance unfurled both too quickly and too slowly? Like, it was definitely a "way too fast" logistical issue from the suspense standpoint, but then oddly slow from the romance/sexy standpoint? Now I'm feeling guilty at my criticism. I will read the third in this series, I think, because Julia's character has been the most flattened and I'd love to see it complicated (plus catching the villain!), but I'm not in a rush about it now.
