Romance
Special agent Carrie Ward is fighting to overcome the
emotional repercussions from her last assignment where doing
her duty resulted in the death of a teenager. Before her
recovery is complete, she is tapped by the Special
Investigations Group to lead an investigation into a series
of murders by a man known as the Embalmer. She fights to
conceal her weakness and uncertainty from those she works
with, especially Jase Tyler who seems to see right through
her carefully constructed facade to the passionate woman
within.
The last thing Jase Tyler needs is to be working side-by-
side with the woman who makes him so hard he can barely
walk. More than that, he cares too much about how she is
feeling especially since she is known as a ball-busting
Amazon who will let nothing get in the way of her ambition.
He figures if they both give in to the overwhelming sexual
attraction between them they can move on and get the job
done, hopefully before the sick bastard they are tracking
kills again.
Virna DePaul always delivers a good story especially in the
romantic suspense genre. She has a well-honed skill for
balancing passion with the touches of horror evoked by the
bad guys she writes about. Her main characters are
brilliantly flawed as well, never cookie-cutter couples but
personalities that clash most interestingly both in bed and
out.
SHADES OF TEMPTATION is the second book in her Special
Investigations Group series, following Shades of
Desire. Shades of Passion will be coming soon.
SUMMARY
WILL HE HELP PROTECT HER... Carrie Ward understands dangerous men, and she's got the
scars to prove it. These days, the Special Investigations
Group detective saves her risk-taking for the job. But when
she's asked to pursue a high-profile serial killer, she'll
have to join forces with the last man she wants to depend
on-Jase Tyler, an ace senior detective who's as reckless as
she is cautious. And despite her best intentions, the sparks
begin to fly. OR DRAW A KILLER FROM THE SHADOWS? As Carrie and Jase race to try to save the next victim, the
passion that simmers between them ignites. But a cunning
killer at the top of his game is challenging Carrie to play
to the very end. Now all she can count on are her
instincts-and Jase, the one man daring enough to keep her safe....
