Bad boy knife-thrower Marco Taresque is the hottest and most dangerous performer in the caravan. He keeps to himself until a pesky female journalist arrives, anxious to interview him about his checkered pastâ€”his last assistant disappeared under mysterious and bloody circumstances, earning him the nickname â€œThe Deadly Daggerman.â€,Unsinkable journalist and adventurer Jacinda Harville doesnâ€™t take no for an answer, and sheâ€™s determined to wear down Marco no matter how threateningâ€”or incredibly desirableâ€”he might appear. He agrees to an interviewâ€”but only if sheâ€™ll let him strap her to a spinning table and throw knives at her body. How can she say no? And how can she resist him when he leans close for a kiss that strikes her more sharply than any blade? Itâ€™s the first time sheâ€™s let a man get the better of her, and sheâ€™s determined it will be the lastâ€¦,Just when she thinks she canâ€™t take any more of his games, Jacinda receives a note from Marco saying heâ€™s finally ready to tell her the truth about what happened to his missing assistant. She sets out for an address miles away, but what she finds there turns the tables on everything she thought she knew about the tender lover who wears a smile as sharp as his knives.,As secrets are unraveled and passions take hold, Jacinda realizes her hard heart has melted. But will it be too late to save Marcoâ€”and herselfâ€”from the daggermanâ€™s dangerous past?
