Finley Anderson Tanner, fashionista/paralegal extraordinaire, is torn between the two gorgeous men in her life -- her boss, lawyer Tony Caprelli, and the law firms' private investigator, Liam McGarrity. But Liam is the hunk who really makes her tingle in all the right places. In the past, they've come close to consummating their relationship several times, but something always happens to hinder the final act. Just how much sexual teasing is a hot-blooded woman expected to take?

Then Liam shows up at Finley's house late one night with a gunshot wound needing a place to hide and get patched up, and she knows she'll do whatever it takes to protect him. With much probing and prodding, Finley finally gets Liam to confess that five years ago he left the police force after he was falsely accused of shooting a teen during a drug bust. Even though he was never found guilty, he was forced to resign. Now, Liam's gun from five years ago has been used to kill his ex-partner -- and he's again a murder suspect.

It doesn't take long for death threats against Finley to start and with an excess of possible suspects, Liam, Finley and Tony are kept busy sorting out details and following leads. But will they live long enough to bring the bad guys to justice?

The really good thing about this fifth outing for Finley is the progression of her relationship with Liam, and we finally learn more about his background. It adds a special dimension to the sleuthing and the final outcome of the mystery plot. Don't miss BARGAIN HUNTING, a fantastic entry in this exceedingly enjoyable mystery series.
