From Texas to Teaneck, someone is killing wealthy married couples and clearing their homes of luxury items. According to law enforcement officials, an undercover couple stationed in one of the targeted cities is their best shot at stopping the brutal crime spree. Enter Special Corruption Unit agents Roderick Radford and Helene Maupin. Professionally, posing as husband and wife should be a breeze for Roderick and Helene. But personally, it’s a different story. For the pair bring to their mission a history of repressed emotions and unconsummated passion. Helene has loved Roderick for years, but an unhappy past–and an intimate secret–have kept her from wholeheartedly pursuing him. Confused by Helene’s mixed signals, Roderick has kept his feellings in check, even taking on assignments that put distance between them. But now, as their clandestine kisses leave them yearning for more, and their work puts their lives at risk, they may discover that losing each other is one risk that isn’t worth taking.
