About this ebook

Her fingerprints are on the gun, but Sarah swears she's innocent.

Although Sarah Anne Martin admits to pulling the trigger, she swears someone forced her to kill her lover. Homicide detective Jay Christianso is skeptical, but enough ambiguous evidence exists to make her story plausible. If he gives her enough freedom, she'll either incriminate herself or draw out the real killers. But, having been burned before, Jay doesn't trust his own protective instincts. . .and his growing attraction to Sarah only complicates matters.

With desire burning between them, their relationship could ultimately be doomed since Sarah will be arrested for murder if Jay can't find the real killer.

    I loved this story, I could not put it down. The romantic suspense story of Sarah, who is charged with murder is full of suspense, intrigue and mystery that will keep the reader on the edge of the seat. She is a strong young woman, but alone and open to any caring help from a handsome detective. The detective in the story is Jay, a very professional guy, but when he meets Sarah his protective and male instincts come to the fold. Can he resist? No. The story is very fast paced and the secondary characters were very likeable to. This story will keep you guessing right to the end and not disappoint.
