Karen Ellis has her own reason for coming to town—Jesse. Her unborn child has the right to know the truth about its father's death, and only Jesse can help her learn it. But their investigation is stoking some dangerous embers—and igniting a firestorm of desire that not even the darkest of secrets can put out.
Karen Ellis thought she was in love with the father of her baby. The man who died 3months ago. well....untill she meet Jesse Kingston that is. Searching for her baby father's family to give them the news, she goes to his best friend, Jesse for help. It doesn't take Karen long to realize that even though at the time she thought she loved Paul, their "relationship" was no way near how she felt about Jesse. While searching for answers surrounding his death, they uncover more than they bargained for. There was a good plot twist at the end and I enjoyed the happy ending.
Quick read. I read 60 percent of this book while sitting in my doctor's office waiting to be seen! Obviously I don't see this doctor any longer. That said, suspenseful and scandalous! Jesse and Karen were easy enough to like. Okay for a harlequin!
