They call me The Scorpion because I’m fast, lethal, and I pack plenty of heat.ALEX When you’re street muscle for the biggest drug cartel in North America, you’re hard or you’re dead. I’m alive asf*ck, because I get the job done. My boss swore kidnapping the accountant’s daughter would be quick and easy. Just find Tessa at the wedding, stuff her into a car and let someone else drive her off. Notdance with her all night. Notbeat up the driver for being drunk. Nottake her to the safe house yourself. The only thing more dangerous than doing my job isnot doing my job. But for her? Sign me the f*ck up.TESSA Here’s a tip: if a tall, impossibly sexy man starts flirting with you at your friend’s wedding,run the other way. Don’t flirt back.Don’t dance with him, andabsolutely do not fool around with him, no matter how much you want to. Otherwise, you might get kidnapped by an arrogant, swaggering, cocky jerk who thinks he’s God’s gift to women. One who also happens to work for a powerful Mexican cartel… your father’s former bosses. You might wind up stuck together in a safe house, deep in the desert. Worst of all, you might find out he’s cocky for onereally good reason - and you might like it. Whatever you do,don’t fall in love with him.
