Delicious Torment
by Linsey Lanier
What happens when your old flame turns out to be a killer?
Torn between leaving town and continuing to work for the Parker Agency, Miranda Steele is on a case with her sexy, ace investigator boss at a ritzy steeplechase, when she discovers the body of a beautiful young horse breeder, her face brutally crushed by the hooves of her favorite stallion. The incident appears to be a bizarre accident, until the dead woman's sister claims she was murdered by her ex-husband and begs Miranda to take the case.
When Miranda brings the subject up to Parker, he is strangely aloof, not at all like himself. As she looks into the incident on her own, Miranda begins to realize that Parker has a past he doesn't want her to unearth.
Against his better judgment, Parker lets Miranda take the steeplechase case. He'd do nearly anything to please her and keep her at the Agency. He's fallen deeply in love with the feisty, impossible woman. But Miranda's past haunts her. What will she do, he wonders, when he asks her to marry him?
