What About Alice?

Lust killed Robert Hanover.
Lust ruined Jack Mercer's marriage.
Lust now threatened to destroy an old friendship and unearth buried secrets.

When Robert Hanover died at the hands of his mistress everyone grieved, but no one worried.

Jack Mercer, a former Texas Ranger turned private investigator, wasn't satisfied that the woman charged with the crime was the murderer.

The case brought him up against the past, not only Hanover's, but his own, as he was forced to consider a variety of suspects, one of them the woman he hadn't seen for nine years. A woman who still fascinated him, despite his suspicions.

The last person Hope Smith expected to see was Jack Mercer, especially since she still felt guilty about their relationship. Plus, he brought murder into her life and her quiet subdivision.

Yet her attraction to him was still as strong as before even as she asked herself: was one of her friends a murderer?
