Carrie: Mit zwei Schüssen habe ich meinen letzten Liebhaber getötet. Man könnte sagen, dass seitdem eine Flaute in meinem Liebesleben herrscht. Deshalb empfiehlt mir eine Freundin einen Klub für ein unverfängliches Abenteuer. Ich glaube, sie hat mehr Angst um den potenziellen Kerl, als ich davor habe, allein mit ihm zu sein. Trotz allem lasse ich mich darauf ein und vollbringe direkt die nächste Glanzleistung: Am nächsten Morgen sehe ich meinen anonymen Lover ungeplant wieder – auf der FBI-Liste der meist gesuchten Schwerverbrecher. Lerne ich jemals dazu?

Ich wollte doch bloß ein unverfängliches Abenteuer mit einem Mann, der mir sein... tiefgehendes Wissen zu den Themen vermittelt, mit denen ich keine Erfahrung habe. Gar keine Erfahrung. Colin Forbes wurde mir aufgrund seiner herausragenden Fähigkeiten empfohlen und ich habe meine Wahl nicht bereut. Der Mann weiß, was er tut. Allerdings habe ich Colin im Eifer des Gefechts ein Versprechen gegeben, das ich niemals einlösen wollte.

Als FBI-Agent ist mir der Name Daven St. Preux durchaus vertraut. Die Nummer 2 auf der Liste der meistgesuchten Schwerverbrecher hat eine Akte, die dicker ist als mein Unterarm. Ich habe Fotos seiner Opfer gesehen. Ich weiß, wozu er fähig ist. Und zu allem Überfluss kann er mich nicht leiden. Was ich mir also dabei gedacht habe, seine unwiderstehliche Schwester Beau zu entführen, weiß ich selbst nicht.

Wenn das Monster sich nicht länger versteckt, will es wahrscheinlich gefunden werden. Mein Boss, mein Mitbewohner, mein Verehrer und ein FBI-Agent treffen sich in einer Bar... Was wie der Anfang eines mittelmäßigen Witzes klingt, ist meine Realität. Vier von ihnen wollen mich ins Bett bekommen. Drei von ihnen sind halbwegs erträglich. Zwei von ihnen sind in mich verliebt – obwohl "besessen von mir" eher zutrifft. Und ich bin mir sicher, dass einer von ihnen ein gefährlicher Serienkiller ist.
