"Tension-filled from first page to last."

Detective Celeste Bradshaw is from money but she still wants to make her own way. So when she's assigned to the Prince Charming rapist's case, she decides to go undercover. It seems that all of the victims have one tie- in and that's Dante's Restaurant. Celeste had done some bartending in college so she's a shoe-in for a job at the restaurant in the bar.

Luc Dante has been trying to live down his juvenile past all of his life so he and his two best friends from the old neighborhood decide to open a restaurant and follow the straight and narrow. Now his restaurant, his pride and job has been singled out because several rape victims had been seen in his restaurant before they had been raped. Luc knows there's no way there can be a tie in but he has to cooperate with the police even though he doesn't like it one bit.

Celeste doesn't want to be attracted to her new 'boss' Luc but there's just something about him that draws her in like a fly to honey. Luc doesn't have the time or the inclination to fall for a cop like Celeste but fate has a way of intervening. Can they work together and find out who the Prince Charming rapist is before he strikes again?

This book had me on the edge of my seat hurriedly flipping pages until the very last tension filled chapter! I really liked the way I was kept guessing as to who the rapist could be until the very climax of the book! I look forward to reading more suspense from Linda Randall Wisdom!

Summary

When the "Prince Charming" rapist struck again, Detective Celeste Bradshaw went undercover to smoke out the criminal. But this by-the-book cop never thought she would fall for her "boss," devilishly handsome café owner Luc Dante. Yet as she closed in on her suspect, the danger drove her right into Luc's protective arms!

Reformed rebel Luc couldn't believe he was falling for a cop. Celeste got under his skin like no one else, and soon their attraction exploded into unquenchable passion. But her devotion to her job drove Luc away just when he was faced with a betrayal that threatened his entire world—and the woman he loved. Could he overcome his dark fears in time to save Celeste?
