New York city cop and Texas ranch widow find answers to all their questions in this who-done-it.
The daughter of famous parents, Portia Carr Wells has shunned the spotlight her entire life. But now, trying to continue the work of her late husband-the former president of the Nature Preservation Society-she finds herself more and more in the public eye. Pretending to be Portia's security detail, NYPD Detective Nick Sinestra is instead selling her secrets to the tabloid he moonlights for. Though his conscience stings, it's Portia who is in real danger. She is convinced that her husband's death was no accident. From his beat in Manhattan to the mountains of Colorado, Nick trails Portia-at first to betray her, then to protect her. As threats against her are played out, Portia has no one to turn to but Nick. Her mind rails against trusting him. But desire has a mind of its own...
Romantic mystery, with the male protagonist of course transforming from his self-centered egoism to lover and protector. Not a bad rainy evening's read, even for guys. ;)
