A cloud of suspicion...
From all appearances Cruz Martinez is one of the good guys. A decorated Philadelphia detective with an impressive atta-boy file, he's on the fast track for promotion. And with that rock hard body and killer smile, he's a difficult man to say no to. But Madeline Casey is prepared to do just that.
Someone is arming the youth gangs in the city, and Madeline is partnered with Cruz on the case. But Internal Affairs thinks Cruz might be involved with the supplier. It's Madeline's job to discover the truth.
She knows better than to trust instincts over evidence. But late night stakeouts have her judgement clouding. Is Cruz really innocent, or will that killer smile prove lethal?
Five minutes after meeting her new partner, Madeline Casey had to concede that Detective Cruz Martinez was the epitome of the perfect man. With his rock-hard body and killer smile, he could charm the ice off an igloo. But was the perfect man a perfect cop? It was Madeline’s job to ferret out the truth.
Cruz and Madeline began working day and night to uncover the man who was selling assault weapons to children, but her boss believed Cruz was the man they were looking for. The evidence was inconclusive, but each late night stakeout was bringing cool-headed Maddy closer to surrender. Her heart said Cruz was on the level, but would that killer smile prove deadly?
