Description
In sickness and in health . . .
Shari Sinclair is a stunning foul-mouthed blonde. At thirty years old she works as a cocktail waitress and chip runner at a casino in Jersey.
She meets the suave and debonair high-roller, Wayne Zelinski, and sparks fly between them. His lifestyle oozes luxury, but where does his wealth come from?
When Shari is stoic and unreadable upon hearing the news of her husband’s untimely death, the well-built, thirty-seven-year-old investigator who breaks the news, Billy Jensen, is skeptical. Wayne’s car went up in flames after going over a cliff, leaving only a few scarce items to help identify the body.
During his investigation, Billy inadvertently breaches his professional exterior, revealing his attraction to Shari, but he cannot risk becoming involved with Shari. Could this ardent and resourceful woman really be a killer?
As he questions Shari about Wayne’s habits and business transactions, hoping to catch Shari in a lie, Billy gets a big break in his case, but not the one he expected.
Needless to say, Shari didn’t think she could be more hurt or shocked after learning about Wayne’s betrayals. When they return to the Jersey shore, Billy leaves Shari to attend to his daughter, Megan, who it’s clear is headed down a troublesome path.
When Billy returns to Brigantine Beach, he heads to Shari’s home to question her and all the lust for Shari burning within him returns with a vengeance. With his career on the line, can he keep his hands off her?
After discovering more bodies, Billy conducts a nationwide search of Wayne, uncovering two more people linked to his network of lies.
Tragedy strikes and Billy is forced to face his parenting issues head-on. Chasing down a perp just might be easier than a teenage daughter.
The typically composed Shari is visibly shaken with the body count racking up. Should she continue to keep quiet or confess her misdeeds to Billy?
Billy thinks the trail has gone cold; an unexpected confession breaks it wide open. He follows the money, and it could only lead to one person.
Back at Shari’s beachside manor, the women bond never suspecting the danger lurking in the shadows. After all, with a patrol car just outside to keep watch, they’re safe—right?
But as the pieces fall into place and the eleventh-hour dawns, the killer is ready to finish what they started. Can Billy protect them all?
. . . till death do they partner.
