FROM THE PUBLISHER - Frank Cullen just has it. There is something tremendously appealing about him. Its is equal parts pride, the courage to run risks, and a kind of stoic gallantry. The combination is attractive to men and women both. Poor but proud, Frank has served his time for armed robbery at Raiford State, a Florida prison, and is negotiating the straight and narrow life of a responsible citizen in Beaufort, South Carolina. The local people are more than receptive. His criminal record, instead of an impediment, simply adds to his allure. People want him. They desire him as a friend, a lover and as a partner in more criminals activities. He is exciting, alive, and, they are too, around him. Which is unfortunate, because Frank Cullen, is trying to mend his ways and make an honest life for himself. The odds aren't good. His new friends have designs on him and will not be dissuaded. Michelle, his boss's young wife, has a sexy robbery in mind, and her gorgeous sister wants to play Bonnie to his Clyde, complete with 1920s' gun moll outfit that she's wearing to their first bank robbery. inventory #27792 ISBN: 0939149702.
