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?

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.

Die Carson-Brüder haben Schulden bei mir. Hohe Schulden, die sie selbstverständlich nicht bezahlen können. Auf Versagern wie ihnen habe ich mein ganzes Imperium aufgebaut.
