As impossible as it seems, controlled and iron willed Bethany St. Croix stands accused of a crime of passion. Police find Bethany in her apartment with the blood of her ex-husband on her hands and with her fingerprints on the murder weapon. P.I. Dylan St. Croix heard the call on his scanner, arriving at Bethany's address expecting to find her dead, and not much relieved to realize it was his cousin Lance lying in a pool of blood.

Dylan and Lance had always had a complicated relationship. Orphaned and raised by their grandfather, they never achieved the brotherhood their grandfather expected. Worse, they both had come to love the same woman, but it was Dylan's intensity that drove Bethany into his cousin's arms. Tragedy and silence tore them apart, and it will take a miracle to bring them together again. Nevertheless, impossibility promises to yield to new beginnings.

Jenna Mills evocative style presents a tale drenched with passion in A KISS IN THE DARK. Lines like, "Don't know why people have to complicate a good divorce with murder" reveal Mills at her scintillating best. Bethany is a difficult heroine to like with her icy control, yet as her tale unfolds her painful past makes it easy to understand her refusal to yield to passion. Conversely, Dylan thrives on passion making him the substance of wild fantasy, proving everything can change with a kiss in the dark. Further, the carefully rendered complexities of the plot move the story along quickly, with enough surprises to keep the reader guessing to the end. Indeed, Mills once again produces an intense, fast-paced and clever tale that appeals to readers who like their romance on the dangerous side. A KISS IN THE DARK comes highly recommended.
