Sensual romantic suspense at its best.
A Reese Adams, PI, Mystery…
A Private Investigator
A banker in love
A known rapist and murderer intent on keeping them apart
In a case like this, FBI infiltration comes with the territory, like a bad case of athlete’s foot in a locker room. Reese Adams, PI, reviewed her notes again. She wants to catch the scum that's raping and killing coeds at Denver University. Her argument with Ethan shakes her to her core, but she doesn’t need the distraction—although the man is always a distraction. In a business suit he's Hershey’s chocolate…in a tuxedo, he's Ghirardelli’s. Having love in her life has thrown her off the unsteady path she’s walked on most of her years. She's battled new feelings, those he offers as well as those she feels for him, and tries to shape them around the life she’s lived alone for so long. For now she has to concentrate. Concentrate like her life depends on it. After all, it does…
The thought of a murderer being anywhere near Reese makes Ethan’s heart ice over with fear. The fact she takes the coed case personally will push her too close to danger. He stares into his wineglass, wrestling with thoughts, fighting to control anger, aggravation and fear. Reese’s strong will is one of her qualities he’s fallen in love with and admires. He has no doubt that without it she wouldn’t have survived her past. But that same dogged determination puts her in harm’s way and he’ll do whatever it takes to pull her back from it. Whether she likes it or not.
A man rapes and murders two women and no one can find him. But Reese is too stubborn to give up looking—no matter the cost to herself. Nor is Ethan willing to risk her safety. Not when she’s become everything to him. Everything that makes his life what he can blessedly consider as living, not merely existing. Will they find the murderer before he strikes again? Or this time will Reese wind up as nothing more than collateral damage?
