Circle of Lies (Madrona Point #1)

Miranda Woods is a woman—strike one. Miranda Woods is beautiful—strike two. Miranda Woods isn’t a cop—strike three. That, according to fifteen year veteran detective, Jonah Zalesky, means she should be OUT. Instead, she’s Madrona Point’s new interim Police Chief with the ability to fire him if he doesn’t toe the line, something Jonah has never been able to do.
Miranda feels a sizzling attraction to Jonah, but he’s exactly the kind of sexy bad boy who can cost her this job. She’s worked hard to overcome her past and achieve the career of her dreams, and she isn’t about to gamble it all on any man—especially one with alcohol issues. But Jonah is missing work, and when he defies her final warning and is stopped on a DUI, she fires him.
Then the current case she’s working on takes a deadly turn, hitting closer to home than she could ever have imagined, leaving her no choice but to risk her heart and her life to the one man she doesn’t trust. Can Miranda and Jonah unearth a heartless killer, or will they become his next victims?
