Mirage

Kristy Hawthorne never thought that she could fall in love with a man like John Smythe. While very handsome, John is a cold and ruthless businessman. When he is accused of harming his partner, Douglas Wheeler, for financial gain, Kristy does not believe that he could be capable of committing a crime. An investigation instigated by the deceased partner’s daughter into the company’s practices, reveals that someone is guilty of fraud. Is John the guilty person? Police detective Peter King’s questions make Kristy wonder if she ever knew the real John. John disappears and Kristy fears the worst.

John Smythe is not the type of man to become involved with his executive assistant, but he is unable to resist Kristy Hawthrone. His business partner’s death, rumored to be murder, rocks John’s world. John does not want to involve Kristy in his troubles but is unsure as how to protect her. John suspects who might be behind his partner’s death but does not want to tip his hand. As the murderer becomes more bold, John will do whatever it takes to protect Kristy.

This story is a perfect blend of romance, mystery and steamy sex. Ms. Bridger has outdone herself with Mirage. I was captivated from the first word and could not put this book down. The chemistry between the couple is intense, both sexually and emotionally. John and Kristy’s relationship is rocked by the accusations thrown at John but their love does not falter.
