Two federal agents must crack the secrets hidden deep in the bayou…Undercover agent Zach Winters vows to expose the truth behind his best friend’s death and protect the pregnant widow left behind. But his de facto partner, Maddy Tierney, isn’t the average federal-agent-turned-bodyguard—she’s too beautiful, too capable and too damn tempting. It isn't until he rescues her from a kidnapping attempt that their relationship goes from uneasy to explosive. With the criminals closing in and time running out, Zach knows he’d put his own life on the line in order to protect a vulnerable widow. And to ensure the safety of the woman he can’t imagine saying goodbye to.

St. Louis, Missouri, is a quietly dying river city until it hires a new police chief: a charismatic young woman from Bombay, India, named S. Jammu. No sooner has Jammu been installed, though, than the city's leading citizens become embroiled in an all-pervasive political conspiracy. A classic of contemporary fiction, ‘The Twenty-Seventh City’ shows us an ordinary metropolis turned inside out, and the American Dream unraveling into terror and dark comedy.
