Det. Jimmy O'Malley goes undercover to find a thief targeting the town's rich and elite. His cover is almost blown, though, when he crosses paths with Moira O'Leary. Not only is she a reporter, she's the annoying kid sister of one of his neighborhood buddies. Never mind that Moira has grown up well and knows how to take care of herself. Moira has ambitions of doing more than puff pieces about socialites and fundraisers. Running into the egotistical Jimmy O'Malley doesn't brighten her day either. But she can offer him and his partner a way into high society in exchange for first dibs on their investigation story. Old animosity sizzles into passion as they work together to solve a crime but also to calm the muddied waters of each of their family's problems. Can family rifts be healed, a thief caught, and passion maintained without Jimmy and Moira losing their sanity and the constant craving?
VERDICT Although at first the enmity between the two protagonists seems too wicked to believe that it could transform into lust, Schroeder's latest (after Something To Prove) eventually progresses well. The blend of crime-stopping and family woes both pumps and melts the heart.
