Someone's out to get Los Angeles bookseller Adrien English. His best friend has been viciously murdered, now he's getting weird phone calls and sinister gifts from a mysterious "admirer." The cops think he's trying to divert suspicion from himself-with the exception of sexy and homophobic homicide detective Jake Riordan. Is Riordan really such a great detective--or does he have a few secrets of his own? Is his offer to help Adrien on the level or is he out to nail his favourite suspect -- to the wall?

I'm going to give you the line from the books I've read that make my mind crave the rest like coke.


That did it, like it or not, Chauney was going to teach Brody some manners. Letting out a growl, he reached out, grabbed the medic and threw him over his shoulder.

Adults contemporary erotica

In all the years they've know each other, trauma nurse Chauncey and paramedic Brody have only ever agreed on one thing: their mutual hatred for one another, which only seems to grow with each exchange they have. While they may have to work together, and share many mutual friends, they couldn't be more different. Brody see Chauncey as nothing more than a bossy jerk, whereas Chauncey thinks Brody is a cocky brat who needs a good punch in the nose. What neither one of them is willing to admit is that they share a dirty little secret - a mutual attraction that burns almost as deep as their animosity.

One night they lose control and give in to their passion. When they wake up in each other’s' arms, they have to face one of the biggest decisions of their lives: do they give love a chance, or are their differences just too big to overcome?
