Women seem to be disappearing from Felix Kruger's tidy little bungalow, and since the police won't listen to Beth Walker's suspicions about her creepy neighbor, she undertakes her own amateur investigation. When her clever game of cat and mouse starts to go awry, though, Beth quickly becomes the mouse, caught in a deadly trap of her own making.
Enter Police Detective Adam McCann, who's not convinced that the very attractive Miss Walker is the total "nutcase" his colleagues seem to think she is. Sure, she's a bit screwy and stubborn as hell, but who wouldn't be with what's going on her in neighborhood?
Determined to protect the woman he's falling in love with, McCann reopens the case. Beth, however, thinks "no" is more of a suggestion than a rule, and she won't stop playing detective. When it looks like she's about to get into big trouble, Adam stops being amused and starts acting like the tough cop he is. The would-be sleuth needs some boundaries, and she also needs to understand who's in charge and who isn't. When it becomes clear that changing the lady's behavior is going to require a very firm hand applied to her stubborn rear-end, the "politically incorrect" Detective McCann turns out to be the perfect man for the job.
Even if spanking romance isn't your favorite genre, you'll love this well-written, action-filled, witty romp from April Hill!
