Shades of Temptation: A Partners in Danger Romantic Suspense

Getting close to him might make her the perfect bait.

Detective Carrie Ward has survived dangerous men and she wears the scars to prove it. Now part of the Special Investigations Group, she keeps her risk-taking confined to the job.

Until she’s forced to partner with Jase Tyler.

Jase is a senior detective with a reputation for recklessness, something Carrie avoids in a man. But when they’re assigned to hunt a high-profile serial killer, instinct and attraction is as impossible to ignore as the sparks generated between them.

Even as they grow closer, danger escalates. The killer is smart. Calculated. And he knows Carrie and Jase’s weaknesses—each other.

Now Carrie has to trust more than her instincts. Jase is determined to stand between her and the darkness.

And be by her side for a lifetime.

A high-stakes romantic suspense about temptation, trust, and risking your heart when the danger is real.
