About the book
Do you want your daughter back...alive? We're watching you...and that distractingly handsome detective Griffin Stone. His sharp eyes cut right through your lies; and talking to the police can get you into trouble...the fatal kind.
Don't fool yourself, Sunny. Griff's sorrowful past haunts his present. You can't make him love again and no one can protect your sweet little Emily from me. Once Griff finds his missing piece, you'll be just another unsolved case...a discarded lover. Perhaps you're not the only bleeding heart -- searching for refuge -- beneath those steamy sheets.
Private detective Sunny Loveless -- so pretty and naive -- do you still believe in happy endings?
