| Book description |
|
There's no escaping the sweltering heat when White House correspondent Laurel Stewart arrives in Somersett, South Carolina, and discovers that her best friend -- the vice president's protocol advisor -- has disappeared. As frustrated as she is by Detective Joe Gannon's skepticism regarding her suspicions, Laurel finds his smooth-talking southern ways and brazen bedroom eyes disturbingly, dangerously, seductive.
With the homicide rate escalating as fast as the mercury, the last thing Joe needs is a stubborn, argumentative reporter -- particularly not an outsider from Washington, D.C., who triggers a sexual jolt at every encounter -- spinning her crazy conspiracy theories. But while he may not entirely believe Laurel Stewart, Joe can't stop himself from wanting her. Thrown together by necessity, drawn together by passion, Laurel and Joe follow a twisted trail into the darkest corners of the sultry, moss-draped city to uncover a secret someone is willing to kill to keep.

Her roommate & best friend goes missing in South Carolina & she heads down there to try & find her.
There she meets Joe Gannon, a homicide cop, who has baggage from his past. His son developed an illness & died while he was on a drug bust while working narcotics a few years ago. His marriage doesn't survive his job or the loss of their son.
Neither Joe nor Laurel are looking for any entanglements in the romance department, but end up working together to find her friend & solve a murder he is working on.
The sparks fly & the oppresive weather in South Carolina is not the only thing heating up between these two.
