内容简介
A police lieutenant with the elite "Red Dogs" until she retired at twenty-nine , Aud Torvigen is a rangy six-footer with eyes the color of cement and a tendency to hurt people who get in her way.

When Aud turns back, the woman is gone.
But Julia Lyons-Bennet will return seeking Aud's help and pr
