Romantic Suspense

Paramedic Kirke Palmer never breaks the rules, so when she agrees to hold onto an envelope and deliver it into the hands of its recipient, she blames this rule-breaking on the situation. After all, how can she ignore the request of a dying man? And no one will know.

Unfortunately for Kirke, the man who died was murdered and the passing envelope was observed by more than one person. Now, the race is on to discover what the dead man said to Kirke and what the envelope contains. Kirke has little choice but to place her trust, and possibly her life, into the hands of Jake Kelly. Jake has a sketchy past, but appears honorable, perhaps that is the result of being blinded by attraction.

With intrigue around every corner, Kirke and Jake must elude their shadowy nemesis and discover the meaning behind the envelopes contents, before it is too late.

Such a great story! Kirke is a fabulous character who is both quirky, and intelligent. Her quick wit makes for an exciting read. Jake is a perfect hero, albeit a misunderstood and abused one. His strength is satisfying to a reader. The plot is full of twists, suspense and murder wonderfully intermingled with a potent love story. Potter’s writing is worth reading again and again.
