An old flame brings a new mystery in this second-chance lesbian romantic suspense.

LAPD Commander Helen Everton's love and work life have turned into a series of disappointments. She's seriously considering packing it all in and starting over when a shadow from her past returns.

Twelve years ago, Helen knew getting involved with her tenant, CIA agent Annie Weaver, was a bad idea, and it's a worse idea now. But Annie needs her help. While trying to fit into a new job in a new city, someone has been sending Annie ominous notes.

Helen reluctantly agrees to work with her ex as long as they keep things strictly business. Unfortunately, their chemistry is just as good as Helen remembers and those safe professional boundaries start to blur. In fact, it's becoming a fight for Helen to keep her heart safe from the woman she never truly let go.

This superb sequel to the bestseller Two is a Pattern can be read as a standalone novel.
