Chicago homicide detective Kate Delaney fiercely defends victims. Which is why--despite death threats--she's testifying to a federal grand jury about local police corruption. It's also why she's infuriated by the New Orleans police department's blas©�e attitude toward her estranged sister's death. But pursuing an investigation in a strange city means allying with someone who knows the territory. And the players. Someone with a total disregard for the rules. As an ex-cop from a police family, New Orleans P.I. Nick Broussard knows that cops live by their own code. You don't rat out a fellow officer. The last thing he needs is some smart-mouthed, by-the-book outsider unknowingly injecting herself into his undercover search for the truth. Even worse is the way she conjures up visions of tangled she No library descriptions found. |

The story: Kate Delaney, detective from Chicago, heads to New Orleans to learn more about the death of her twin sister, Tara. The two had not seen each other in ten years or more, because of the differences in the ways they lived. To help her track down Tara's movements, Kate hires a former policeman, Nick Broussard. Neither Kate nor Nick feel they can trust the lead detective on the case.
There is immediate attraction between the two, although they both hide it to some extent. As they go about their business the fire intensifies and one thing leads to another blah blah blah. Much of the book is taken up by these urges and conversations about how much they want each other (although, typically, Kate is the strong silent type who has to be convinced). I was able to skip past many pages that were devoted to the details. It is all the usual stuff, nothing new here: two pretty people lusting after each other.
I am not a fan of romantic suspense, obviously. Clearly there are many who are, so I hope one of those gets this book next. (
