The drowning wasn’t an accident. Instinct is telling him to look deeper. To find the story… Jarrett is a good reporter. He knows a front-page story when he sees one. When a woman is found dead on the banks of the river, the police assume it was accidental. But Jarrett thinks otherwise, and sets out on a mission to uncover the truth. A mission that involves a certain beautiful cop. Jessica is a good cop. She keeps her head down and does her job, desperate to prove herself, especially to the person that matters most. The person who was ripped from her life so many years ago. But she is restless, fighting the desire growing inside of her to do more than just follow orders. When their paths cross, both are driven to find answers about the woman’s death. The further their investigation goes, the more they discover, and Jarrett and Jessica soon realize that the case goes far deeper than a simple drowning. Digging for answers exposes new risks, posing a threat to both their jobs, their lives…and their feelings for each other. You’ll love Dire Straits, because of its simmering romance, intriguing mystery and explosive conclusion. Get it now and get lost in the story today.
