Romance Suspense

The mind is a complex cerebral hard drive, powered by emotions both primitive, strong and oftentimes out of control. Dr. Tess Ciccotelli has dedicated her life to helping those with problems they can't handle, which could lead them to commit suicide or even murder. Her integrity and empathy for her patients and others garners her a stalwart following of those who love and admire her. However, believing in the civil rights of her patients when society might disagree causes Tess to be seen in an unfavorable light by those who would vilify her for her forthright actions. Suddenly, her world is turned upside down when her patients are driven to suicide and murder, and all the evidence points to Tess as the prime suspect.

Detective Aiden Reagan is definitely not one of Dr. Ciccotelli's admirers. Therefore, when the evidence points its accusatory finger at the "good doctor," Aiden is ready to haul her in and throw her behind bars. Yet Tess is not the coldhearted witch a lot of those on the force believe her to be, and the more time Aiden spends on the case and with Tess, the more he comes to admire and care for her. As the body count increases, it becomes all too clear to Aiden that it's Tess who's the target being set up for complete annihilation. In spite of his past demons, can Aiden open his heart and give Tess the love she deserves, while getting her to face her own ghosts? More importantly, can Aiden find the cold calculating killer behind the terror before Tess is consumed by the flames of the killer's hatred?

The world is filled with many books and it's not too often that a single novel can keep you riveted, engrossed and pleasantly intrigued until the very end. However, Ms. Rose does just that and more with her latest literary serving of suspense, romance and mystery. Perfecting the art of the romantic thriller, she packs more thrills and chills of both terror and delight than any three or four books of this kind put together. This book will definitely keep you entertained until the very last page. Ms. Rose's complex, savvy plot lines, multifaceted characters and sizzling, sultry scenes are as satisfying as eating a hot fudge sundae while on the roller coaster ride of your life. You'll find yourself as terrified and frustrated as Tess, Aiden and the other characters are, as if you were one of them. Be prepared to stay up late into the night clutching the pages tightly as you fall deeper into a world where YOU CAN'T HIDE.

YOU CAN'T STOP WHAT I'M DOING
