He took a step toward her, stopping when she raised the barrel. "I don't know what your game is, lady, but..."She hesitated briefly. An idea formed. "Take off your clothes." ***With Cavenaugh's goons closing in on her, on the run undercover DEA agent, Fallon Hargis, relies on her wits to make her escape, but is Fallon pushing her luck when she shoves her way into the hotel room of slow-talking, small town sheriff, Wade Tanner--then at gunpoint orders him to strip?What choice does Wade have?
