From the publisher:

A 2005 Daphne du Maurier Finalist!

It's been years since her child's father dumped her, and since then investigative reporter Kara McMillan has kept men at bay—although every day she aches more for a lover's touch. But to get that, the hard-boiled journalist must become vulnerable—a feeling she vowed never to have again.

With his dangerous good looks, charm, and power, Senator Reece Sheridan could have just about any woman he sets his piercing eyes on. But he’s intrigued by only one. This Kara, this gutsy investigative reporter, has a sensuality that arouses him to no end. If she’s a firebrand in print, he guesses, she must be just as fiery in bed…

But this is no fling. A sudden political scandal—and attempts on Kara's life—could very well drive them apart. Or maybe, just maybe, adversity could draw them into a bond even more intense than their steamy sexual embraces…

IMO:

I have to thank my Kindle for recommending this author!!  I loved every word of it!!  Pamela Clare's characters are compelling, the suspense keeps you on the edge of your seat, and the story never slows down!

Kara and Reese are definitely a hot together!!  They both have tempers, baggage and expectations-a definite recipe for tension and excitement.  *Spoiler Alert*  The danger that both Kara and Reese are in due to the news story she is investigating both pushes them apart (Kara's doing) and pulls them together (Reese's persistence).  

The story also introduces some colorful characters: Kara's free-spirited mom, Tom - her curmudgeon editor, other members of the I-Team, and her sweet little boy.

I have already started the second book in the series - Hard Evidence and am eager to catch up with the rest of the series.
