Up in Smoke — Natalie E. Wrye

Rules were made to be broken. Until I broke the wrong ones...

Jackson Reed knew the only thing harder than his head was the insatiable one between his legs.

Sandwiched somewhere between following the law and his own instincts, he made up his own rules in the game of “private investigations”: his sacred version of the Holy Trinity.

Sex.

Career.


And more sex.

He towed the delicate line between the “three” until Penelope Castalano -- a former flame he equated to the plague -- re-enters his life…and obliterates it. Fresh from Paris, his best friend's attorney breaks the only deal they've ever made, sauntering back onto the Manhattan scene at a costume party with more to hide than just her face.

And now one fugitive best friend and two broken promises will ignite a new Holy Trinity in Jackson's hazardous life.

Caught in the midst of a government coverup that compromises everything he's ever cared for, Jackson will discover that certain scandals never die.

Only their victims do.

And he'd better make damn sure that he and Penelope aren't next…
