I’ve never been the type of woman to complain. I married my high school sweetheart, Ted, the star quarterback and hunkiest guy on campus, but he hasn’t done anything athletic for years, except for golf using a cart, and he’s put on weight over the years. Okay, let’s just say he’s fat. Ted was the love of my life. After Ted’s recent trip to the Emergency Department, he has committed to turning his health around. I am so excited and eager to help him get back into fighting shape. If you know what I mean.Ted is dead, and not from a heart attack – he was murdered! My stress is blinding my decision making. Emotional versus physical versus logical. Too many things get in the way.Curtis was there, the first person on scene, and he helped to support me through this tragic time in my life. Well…maybe a little more than support. He didn’t exactly push me to do anything I didn’t want to do, but still…as soon as the intimacy ebbed, I regretted that amazing night, no matter how good it had felt.Now, for the first time in my adult life, I am alone. Very alone. But now I’m getting attention from all of these men. And then there’s Curtis, always there, always watching. But it is a small town where everyone knows everything, and everyone is watching…Curtis is becoming possessive; well…maybe he’s just being protective. After all, he is a cop. But I just can’t take the suffocating attention any longer and my guilt of starting a relationship right after Ted’s death is gnawing at my conscience.Strange events have begun to occur. Maybe they’re just coincidences. I mourn and time goes by…keeping me alone and always a little afraid.Why do things keep happening to me? Everywhere I go Curtis is there…watching me, but should I be surprised? After all, he is a local police officer, and his job is to be out in public, and this is a very small town…but there are so many coincidences...My best friend Sylvia has convinced me to try to move on. Maybe I’ll find love again, but what about Curtis, who always seems to be lurking in the shadows?I need to find out what Curtis is doing…why he’s always around…what is his obsession with me. But I am not a trained detective, and I may have bit off more than I can chew…and I may not like what I find out. The truth may more disturbing than I could have possibly imagined…Like what you’re reading?

This box set reads as one novel... The story has been covered in the blurb so I won't go into detail. This was a really good read, sad, scary, sexy but to me the heroine came across as a tad selfish. Much as I wanted to empathise with her I just couldn't relate. Didn't detract from my enjoyment although I would have preferred a heroine I admired. I received an arc & this is my honest & voluntary review.
