The Rose Tattoo

The wrong man

Haley Jenkins's best friend, Claire, had the habit of picking Mr. Wrong and it might have cost her her life. Claire was missing, last seen at the fertility clinic where she'd gone to conceive a much–wanted baby. And Haley wanted answers.

The right time

What she didn't want was Detective Dalton Ross, dark–haired, broad shouldered and absolutely convinced she and Claire were a pair of spoiled women playing at life. She also didn't want threats from her boss, ninety–degree heat and the knowledge that her biological clock was ticking just as loudly as Claire's had been. Dalton and everything else that was happening to Haley definitely wasn't what she wanted. But sometimes you get what you need.
