After Hours — Lynn Erickson

The daughter of famous parents, Portia Carr Wells has shunned the spotlight her entire life. But now, trying to continue the work of her late husband -- the former president of the Nature Preservation Society -- she finds herself more and more in the public eye.

BETRAYAL LURKS....
Pretending to be Portia's security , NYPD Detective Nick Sinestra is instead selling her secrets to the tabloid he moonlights for. And though his conscience stings, it's Portia who is in real danger. For she is convinced that her husband's death was no accident. And the more she's in the news, the more certain people want her silenced.

AND PASSION BURNS....
From his beat in Manhattan to the mountains of Colorado, Nick trails Portia -- at first to betray her, then to protect her. As threats against her are played out, Portia has no one to turn to but Nick. Her mind rails against trusting him. But desire has a mind of its own....
