Perhaps it was out of guilt, but Kelly Weir would do this one last favor for her one-time best friend and pack up her belongings from the Summer Shore cottage she'd so loved. Kelly didn't expect to discover anyone in Rachel's home, but Dan Steele, the handsome intruder, she found in Rachel's seaside cottage would do more than break in to the house. While squelching any feelings of trust in another man after having been burned so badly by her past fiancé, and supposedly best friend, Kelly would soon come to believe in Dan's theory that Rachel's death was not accidental, but a cold-blooded murder to stop the investigative reporters latest expose of a dangerous drug operation. Dan suffered guilt over his role of developing the dangerous drug that was now being pedaled on the black market, and had ended up being the cause of death of his beloved sister. Dan would not rest, and was decidedly determined to discover the mastermind behind the operation. Thinking to remain unemotionally involved when Kelly joined forces with him in trying to learn the identity of their elusive quarry and Dan would be overwhelmed when it became apparent that Kelly now seemed to be the newest target of the `Candy Man'. Stifling the distracting attraction and lust he was feeling for Kelly, Dan was determined to save her from being the killer's next victim. *** Reading suspense can be a real treat especially when its coupled with fast action and a sensually stirring romance as Ms. Long has done here. Both protagonists were sympathetic, likeable and the readers will find themselves rooting for them to open up to comfort and hasten along their ultimately very sensual and steamy capitulation! The secondary characters were plentiful, well characterized and all essential in adding depth to the spine tingling suspense that kept me turning the pages into the wee small hours of the morning. Even though I admit to having a sneaking suspicion early on as to the real villain, this author mixed in just the right amount of romance with strong edge of the cliff suspense to make this a truly entertaining read and put this author on my watch list. --- Marilyn, for www.romanticdesigns.com ---
