Sarah Wylde is Lilesville’s new police chief. Recently divorced, her memories of her ex-husband and the way things were at the beginning of their marriage are still fresh and painful.
Justin Herne moved to the small town four years ago to take care of his aunt until she passed away. Finding that he liked the small town, he stayed and started his own business, “For Her”, a women’s sensuality shop that caters to couples and women.
When a ritual murder is committed in the woods two miles from Sarah’s home and on Justin’s land, he is brought in for questioning. As part of a Wicca coven in Lilesville, Justin seems the perfect suspect. Sarah has a hard time thinking that Justin could be the killer, but she has a hard time just thinking, period, when she is near him. She feels a connection with him that she’s never felt with anyone else, even her ex-husband. She has a hard time keeping her defenses up around him. He just breaks right through them. How could she feel this way about a man she just met? Just a look, just being in the same room, or thinking of him makes her burn with desire and ache with need for him.
The first time Justin laid eyes on Sarah, he was instantly attracted. A feeling like nothing he’d ever felt or experienced before with another woman. He’s in a constant state of arousal when she’s near. His thoughts, his body, his entire being are forced on her. He needs to claim her as his own. He knows who the murderer is, but he can’t tell the police. How can he explain what he knows?
This story is full of mystery, romance and hot sex! It’s a tale of love lost and life mates found. Joey W. Hill has a way to make to make you feel what the characters feel and the mystery just pulls you right in. Sarah is unsure of herself, sexually; and Justin is more than happy to reveal to her just how sexy and passionate she is. A cold shower is in order when you reach the end of this page-turner!
