Hunted by Maggie Shayne

Lexi Stoltz’s break from life is interrupted one snowy December night when her isolated Adirondack cabin is invaded by killers, a group who try to take her captive, and one lone wolf with storm cloud eyes who takes a bullet to liberate her from the thugs, then forces her to leave with him.
His name is Romano, and he claims to work for the government. He says her father invented a biological weapon and he has to find it first before the bad guys do.
It’s a dirty lie, so she doesn’t feel guilty leading him on a wild goose chase while awaiting a chance to escape.
But he wasn’t lying when he said there would be others after them with deadly intent.

Lexi soon learns he has secret motives born of an unthinkable loss… a loss that might just have been a lie.
