Publisher's Synopsis
New PI Jade Cavendish's investigation into a cheating husband takes a bizarre turn when she uncovers a plot to commit murder.
The Amorous Assailant has frustrated police for months. His MO is always the same. He binds his victims with red silk, kisses them, and leaves them with a red rose. Women throughout the city are worried they'll be his next victim.Novice PI Jade Cavendish isn't one of them, though. After inheriting the Beachtown Detective Agency, she's worried about landing a paying client. Any client. She'd even settle for a dognapping.
Gina Rose, a wealthy young heiress, has a problem. Her new husband, a man she thought was her perfect match, is bleeding her dry. When Gina hires Jade to prove her husband is defrauding her, Jade quickly learns he's a terrible businessman. His investment properties are oozing money like open wounds.
On the surface, it appears Gina simply has bad taste in men. But Jade refuses to give up on her client so easily. Her investigation pulls her into a world filled with greed, one where secrets are a way of life, events are not always what they seem, and lies conceal deadly realities-including the Amorous Assailant's true motive.
