"A fast paced erotic romance mystery that is sure to keep you turning the pages."
Estelle Racine owns one of the finest brothels in
Washington DC, Maison D'Estelle. While walking along
Pennsylvania Avenue she wrenches her ankle. Lieutenant
James Goodwin of the Third Pennsylvania Cavalry is riding
by and rescues her. A year goes by and James is wounded in battle. After
recovering, he is assigned to the Provost Marshals office
in Washington. Estelle has never forgotten him and he hasn't forgotten
her. He shows up at her brothel and over the next few
months they fall in love.
What James doesn't know is that Estelle has a past that is
about to catch up to her. When a man is found dead at her back gate, James vows to
do everything he can to help find the real murderer.
Estelle knows that the military isn't going to look far or
deep for the real killer. She is in danger of being
arrested for the murder. It doesn't help her case when
several people have said that she knew the murdered man
and he had threatened her.
Estelle decides to do her own investigating and find the
murderer herself. The erotic love scenes between James and Estelle will have
you fanning yourself and they almost set the pages on
fire. The mystery keeps this story from being one
dimensional. This is a writer to watch for. I can't wait for the second
book in this series to come out. I want to see where this
duo will go with their love and their partnership in
solving mysteries.
