About this ebook

Finalist in the Book Buyers Best in Romantic Suspense and Mystery with Romantic Elements.

Private Investigator Katarina Jones has one too many men in her life. One man wants to give her the world. The other wants to burn it all down.

 

After a near-death accident and a broken heart, Kat’s lost her edge and confidence. With her best friend and business partner away, she’s got to step up and solve one last case. If she fails, lives will be lost. But even with a ghostly guardian, Kat’s own life—and heart—are on the line.

Firefighter Shawn Randal has one goal: solve a series of arson cases before heading back to his home state on the other side of the country. The pretty detective is not a distraction he needs, but definitely, one he wants. 

A weekend fling goes against all of good girl Kat’s rules, but she can’t resist the smoking hot man holding out his hand and offering her everything she desires. Who sees her inner strength. But they’ve got more pressing matters than a love affair doomed from the start, like catching a madman. One who is set on setting the world on fire including his latest obsession: Kat Jones.

Do you like mysteries with action, laughs, and a steamy romance? If so, then this is the book you’ve been looking for.

Ratings and reviews

This is the first I've read by Gail Chianese and I wasn't disappointed. I loved the mixture of reality and supernatural. Kat's ghost guardian, Vinnie, was entertaining - even making me laugh out loud a few times. Kat and Shawn's relationship was both sweet and steamy. Overall a solid, entertaining story. I'm intrigued to read Lexie's story next and more of Vinnie!
