and by whom? In the scandal-ridden days that follow, Cole gets another shock–the private investigator hired by the Fortune family is Annie Jones, the ex-cop he loved and left when she was accused of a crime she didn't commit.
Annie never forgave Cole for not believing in her innocence and feels edgy and angry working so closely with him, especially since the chemistry they share is stronger than ever. Posing as a couple during a stakeout, a night of rekindled passion gives way to a morning after of serious regrets. But they've got a killer to nail and an innocent woman to free and, perhaps, a chance to forgive...and begin again.
USA Today and Waldenbooks bestselling author Pamela Toth has written romance for nearly twenty years. She was born in Wisconsin, but has spent most of her life near Seattle where she's raised two fantastic daughters, Erika and Melody, and several Siamese cats. Recently she took a page from the books she loves and married her high school sweetheart after a thirty-year separation. They live in a town home with a view of Mount Rainier. It's within walking distance of a book store and an ice cream shop, two of life's necessities. When she's not writing, she enjoys riding in her husband's 18-wheeler, reading a wide range of fiction, doing counted cross-stitch and playing Spider Solitaire on her computer.
