She'd had a bad day... As if getting fired wasn't bad enough, the haircut Frannie got to cheer herself up was a complete disaster. He'd had a bad day... Homicide Detective Mal Bridger had never killed a man. Until today. They meet by chance, and one very bad day turns into a pretty good night. But when their one night stand makes Frannie a witness to murder and puts her in danger, Mal refuses to let her out of his sight until the murderer is caught. He never meant to be a hero, and she never knew she needed one . . .
