Synopsis:
Less than twenty-four hours after fleeing to Paris, Maya Sinclair is the prime suspect in a brutal murder—and targeted by the real killer. When she's viciously attacked in the gardens of Versailles, Maya barely escapes with her life thanks to sexy French journalist Simon Girard.
Simon has been investigating the mysterious death of his brother, an art forger with ties to the woman Maya is suspected of killing. Still healing from heartbreak of his own, Simon reluctantly joins forces with Maya, who has awakened feelings within him he thought long dead.
Their search for answers uncovers the existence of a secret society, and puts them on a quest to find a missing crucifix rumored to hold the key to everlasting life. Together, Maya and Simon race through Paris one step ahead of a killer who will do anything to ensure some secrets remain buried forever...

She's the author of four mysteries featuring equally nosy amateur sleuth Kendra Clayton, and is also the founder of the award-winning MystNoir website, which promotes African-American mystery writers, and was named a “Hot Site" by USATODAY.com. When she's not working, writing or practicing her stealth, she loves to travel, is a connoisseur of B horror movies and an admitted anime addict. She lives in Ohio and is currently hard at work trying to meet her next deadline.

Ooh, I second Amanda. I love a bad boy. Also, I love a guy who will defend the girl even if she hates him. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!

Oh we are all n good company I also love a bad boy that shows heart when he needs to... That doesn't take crap from anyone but it soft when it comes to our heroine...
ReplyDeleteI like a man who seems hard on the outside but he softens when it is necessary and also a man who could be next to a woman in the most difficult time.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!

I'm all about a man with a protective streak. If he's willing to do anything for me, I'm sold!

A necessary trait in a hero is that when push comes to shove, when their back is up against the wall, they do the right thing. Strength of character, even if they don't always make the best decisions, is a must!

I have to agree with Amanda. A bad boy with an amazing heart just about sums it up for me! =D

I love a bad boy!!! LOVE them. Recently I even started reading books with real antiheros. For example a freelance killer as the protagonist.

I love the guy who doesn't get along with the girl AT ALL, but when things get tough he's the first one to defend her.
