"So, tell me, Detective. Do you kiss all your murder suspects?"

She has no alibi, plenty of motive, and there's DNA evidence linking her to the crime.

In Jill Rice's romantic suspense, tenured psychology professor and best-selling author Caroline 'Cal' Cassidy becomes the prime suspect in the brutal murder of her ex-husband, Paul.

Assigned to the case is Detective Daniel 'Danny' Chan. His suspicion of Cal is unwavering; he interrogates her, and the more she talks, the more he's convinced she's the killer.

Meanwhile, Cal's situation grows increasingly complex when she discovers her attorney's unexpected link to Chan-she's his ex-wife. Could there be a conspiracy against her? To complicate matters further, she discovers she has an irrational attraction to Detective Chan despite his obvious conviction that she's guilty.

Cal knows she's innocent, but who harbors enough hatred to kill Paul and pin it squarely on her? And can she get Chan to believe her before the killer makes another deadly move?
