Description:
Uncovering secrets and exposing truth are all in a day’s work for private investigator Sterling Aegar. But when her latest case threatens to reveal her own buried feelings for an old love, Sterling runs for cover.
A body in the bathtub and pleas from a jilted wife to find her wayward husband mean a welcome break from the usual humdrum cases Sterling and her sister, Lacey, are called to investigate. But when Sterling’s old flame, Detective Ben Kirby, walks into the murder scene, she feels her world spin out of control. Danger from thugs and murderers poses no greater threat than the peril she’d suffer if she lets daredevil Ben get too close.Seeing Sterling for the first time in two years is for Ben like drinking in a healing tonic. He could never forget the way it felt to run his hands over her delicious curves or the way she touched his soul. She remains the one person who can make the emptiness in his gut go away. Finding the murderer is his job, but protecting Sterling from seriously dangerous people is his mission.As the case unfolds, Sterling and Ben not only solve the murder and locate the missing husband, they confront secrets that set them each free from a painful past.
After two years of being apart, Sterling and Ben meet at the scene of a murder. For Ben, it's as if they had never been apart. Pain and loss from Sterling's past is preventing her from being with the person she loves, to keep herself from getting hurt again. But seeing Ben every day is making it harder to keep her distance from him, physically and emotionally. A moving second chance romance with gripping suspense and an intriguing mystery mixed in. Then there is Sterling's sister Lacey who is a great character, but has such a sad story. Luckily, Lacey will get her own book to have her story told. I can't wait to check it out!
