Sting

#1 New York Times and USA Today bestselling author

Sandra Brown jolts the reader from the first page of this

heart-pounding story of corruption, treachery, and ceaseless

deception . . . where nothing is what it seems and every truth

brought to light exposes a darker lie.



















When Jordie Bennet and Shaw Kinnard lock eyes across a

disreputable backwater bar, something definitely sparks.

Shaw gives off a dangerous vibe that makes men wary and

inspires women to sit up and take notice. None feel that

undercurrent more strongly than savvy businesswoman

Jordie, who doesn't belong in a seedy dive on the banks of a

bayou. But here she is . . . and Shaw Kinnard is here to kill

her.









As Shaw and his partner take aim, Jordie is certain

her time has come. But Shaw has other plans and abducts

Jordie, hoping to get his hands on the $30 million her brother

has stolen and, presumably, hidden. However, Shaw is not

the only one looking for the fortune. Her brother's ruthless

boss and the FBI are after it as well. Now on the run from the

feds and a notorious criminal, Jordie and Shaw must rely on

their wits-and each other-to stay alive.





Miles away from civilization and surrounded by

swampland, the two play each other against their common

enemies. Jordie's only chance of survival is to outwit Shaw,

but it soon becomes clear to Shaw that Jordie isn't entirely

trustworthy, either. Was she in on her brother's scam, or is

she an innocent pawn in a deadly vendetta? And just how

valuable is her life to Shaw, her remorseless and

manipulative captor? Burning for answers-and for each















other-this unlikely pair ultimately make a desperate move

that could be their last.With nonstop plot twists and the tantalizing sexual

tension that has made Sandra Brown one of the world's

best-loved authors, STING will keep readers on the edge of

their seats until the final pages.
