Blade — Mandy Harbin

When love stabs you in the heart...Braxton Blade Young learned the importance of carrying a knife growing up in the swamps of Louisiana. As a member of the Bang Shift, he carries something a little louder now, but he's never without his shiv. An added protection. A constant reminder. Fixing cars and carrying out contracts don't help quiet the ghosts of his past anymore, and random women are out. There's only one he wants, and she haunts him in a completely different way, taunting him with what he cannot have. She's an FBI agent. He's a mercenary. Sure, everyone has demons. His are just covered in blood.Ahhh regrets. FBI agent Anna Sue Fisher has her fair share, and sleeping with Blade while on assignment ranks right up there. He's a notorious playboy who lives on the shady side of the law. A heartbreak waiting to happen. But her determination to keep her distance is crushed when her boss sends her back to the Bang Shift on another case. Only this time, she won't just be working with the devastatingly handsome man, she'll be investigating him, too.Dark family secrets. The sharpest betrayals. Alligators aren't the only dangerous things lurking within the blades of grass of the bayou.
