SOMETIMES A MAN'S GOT TO STOP RUNNING . . .

A haunted drifter with a dark history, Mason Hawke calls no town home. Now the past he's managed to stay one step ahead of has caught up with him in New Orleans--in the enticing form of Rachel Brubaker, a beautiful woman who knew the man Hawke once was. But Rachel's running from her own demons--professionals with guns who want her dead for seeing too much killing--and Hawke's the only savior she can turn to.

A man who just wants to disappear has stumbled into more trouble than he bargained for, because Rachel's hunters are a ruthless, relentless, and well-organized army--cold-blooded businessmen whose business is murder. But if he can't help her escape, Hawke will have to fight, which is the last thing their pursuers want. Because when Mason Hawke goes to war, blood flows like a river.
