A one-night-stand should stay in the past…not show up at a crime scene after more than a decade…
Caught in a rare moment of spontaneity, Dr. Amelia Sundry let her guard down one—one—time in her entire life. At a costume party, safely disguised behind her plague doctor’s mask and robe, she allowed herself to experience passion she’d only ever read about, with a man she never expected to look her way. Now, she had her dream job as medical examiner and a dead body with a story to tell. When he shows up at her crime scene, that one indiscretion threatens to destroy her credibility and her dream job. If she never let on that she recognized him, her reputation and her job could remain intact. And that is a BIG If—considering the strength of the desire to tear her clothes off and climb him like a tree.
Detective A.J. Gibbs is no stranger to one-night-stands. His career came first and everything else second. None of those nights had stayed with him the way that one had though. Now the very woman that had dominated his dreams—and fantasies—for over a decade stood before him, taking pictures of a dead body at his crime scene. It’s been more than ten years yet his body instantly remembers every kiss…every touch…His brain registers every bit of her not recognizing him. Their night together would remain a scorching hot memory as they work to find the killer.
That was the plan, anyway.
A plan that quickly crumbles as their victim slowly tells his story—a story that could change both their lives—and hearts—forever.
