The Maverick — Janice Kaiser

KO'd BY A KNOCKOUT OF A WOMAN

Alex Townsend -- Rogue reporter. Loner. Charismatic. His motto: Live dangerously.

Gabriella Lind -- Gorgeous. Sexy. Classy. She played it safe...until she met Alex.

The trouble began when Alex rescued Gabriella from a gang of thugs in Bangkok. First there was heart trouble -- the attraction he felt for Gabriella was immediate and sexual. Second, there was job trouble. Alex was hot on the trail of a story about an international smuggling ring that would make his name. But Gabriella was becoming too damn distracting. To top it all off, there was staying-alive trouble. Now the smugglers were after him and Gabriella, threatening to cut short -- permanently -- the passion of a lifetime.
