Bailey Wells is personal assistant to true-crime writer
Paul Ellis in New York city. She's suffering from a case of
hero-worship, or maybe infatuation, so she agrees to go
with him when he moves to his wife's hometown -- the same
town Bailey escaped from years ago. Then Paul's wife is
murdered in that same North Carolina town and Bailey begins
to see her boss as he really is.
Steve Burke, detective on the local police force, has
problems of his own. A widower with a young daughter, he's
moved back home from Washington, DC, to give his daughter a
small-town life. He's done his best to discourage his
mother's matchmaking, but he finds himself drawn to Bailey --
against his will. However, Steve's personal feelings for
Bailey won't work as long as she's a murder suspect.
Ms. Kantra drew me into this story from the get-go. Great
characters, suspense, passion and a smart, moving plot make
HOME BEFORE MIDNIGHT a winner. Though this is my first book
by Ms. Kantra, it won't be my last. I like her sexy,
intelligent writing. Don't miss this one -- a very good read.
Years ago, Bailey Wells left behind her small-town North
Carolina roots for the high life in New York City, working
as a personal assistant to bestselling true crime author
Paul Ellis. Now, Ellis and his wife are moving to rustic
Stokesville, North Carolina, and Bailey follows them —
right back home.
When Ellis’s wife is murdered in their new house, Bailey
attracts the attention of tough police detective Steve
Burke, who cannot share his growing feelings for her as
long as she is a murder suspect. But Bailey soon discovers
that the violence is far from over. And that to bury a
secret from the past, someone is willing to kill again...
