Her life.
His brand of justice.
FBI agent Rafe Sirilli has made the war against narcotics drugs his personal fight. Home to settle his father's estate, Rafe has no desire to get involved in local matters. Yet, he finds himself involved in solving two homicides and busting a drug ring as he tries to prove the innocence of a girl he'd long forgotten. Erin has grown into a beautiful woman. The passion she ignites in Rafe is hot enough to incinerate them both. His commitment to the law will be tested.
High school counselor Erin Brady is committed to helping kids. Her world crashes around her when she's accused of making inappropriate sexual advances and suspected of murder. Erin's problems have only just begun. She has a secret admirer, one who vows to kill anybody who threatens to harm her or interfere with his plan. Rafe Sirilli agrees to help prove her innocence. Romance blooms, but Erin refuses to hope for permanence. Rafe is available for loan but not to keep.
Will facing old fears help Rafe capture the heart of the woman he loves? The woman who just turned him away?
"I can't imagine the horror of walking in to wake your child and finding her murdered."
The healthy glow of Erin's creamy complexion had vanished. If anything, she was pasty white. Death, sometimes bloody and gory as hell, had become the norm in Rafe's world, but not hers.
"How could anybody believe I could do something like this?" Erin pulled the rubber thing from her ponytail and dropped it on the coffee table, allowing her hair to fall in waves well past her shoulders.
All those caramel colored waves tumbling and sliding across her neck sent a bolt of heat blazing through his veins. The image of his hands buried deep in those silky stands flashed through his mind. He started to speak but his breath caught.
"Nobody in this room believes you're guilty," Harold assured her.
Rafe didn't comment for fear his voice might crack like a teenager. Truth be told, he was leaning toward believing in her innocence. Experience had taught him never to assume. This last undercover operation busted a drug ring run by the sweetest looking grandmother in Dade County. The sixty-five year old woman wouldn't have hesitated to slit anyone's throat if they'd crossed her or her family. She and her son were currently sitting in a federal prison awaiting trial.
"This murdered girl," Rafe asked. "When did you last have contact with her?"
Erin turned to face him. Her eyes revealed nothing, but her mouth drew to a tight line. "Does that matter?"

"YOU LIE
YOU DIE"
And with the opening chapter I was hooked into this suspense filled cleverly written thriller.
Erin is the prime suspect for the murder of a student in her class, whom she found with narcotics previously and had in turn reported Erin for inappropriate behaviour. Erin is lost in a world of media frenzy, with everyone watching her every move.
Rafe, a hardened FBI agent, returning to his home town after the death of his father is asked to help unofficially to clear Erin's name. He quickly sets aside his feelings of hurt and confusion towards Erin from their teenage years to uncover the truth as he instantly sees that the beautiful woman she had become is innocent.
The two of them share an entwined past of hurts and mistrust, with ghosts that they need to lay to rest. Through trauma and danger they work together to resolve their issues as they are drawn together. This is a well written thriller tide, with plot twists that kept me guessing right to the end and oh boy I didn't see it coming.
The backdrop of characters, sub plots and hot bedroom scenes made this a very enjoyable read that I struggled to put down until I had found out who was Casanova! Then my jaw dropped when he was revealed. The plot is believable and hooks you in from the very start. I look forward to the next in the series and hope Linc, Luke and Colton all have their own stories soon...hint hint..a four star read as I simple wanted more!
