Beneath The Petals of Deception

Everyone has secrets, but I'm done running from mine.

Laura:
A string of murders is plaguing my small town and I'm ready to jump into the case. Unfortunately, murder suspect and royal pain in the butt, Natasha Calloway is standing in the way.

But, I have a secret. I can't stop thinking about her.

The body count is rising, as are my suspicions. Now, one thing has become painfully clear. To solve this mystery, I'll have to work with the one woman I would gladly see behind bars.

Natasha:
After being accused of murder last year all I want is to live a quiet life and rebuild my reputation.

But, I have a secret. I'm playing both sides.

When Detective Laura Rhodes barges back into my life and demands my help on a case, can I play my cards right and stay out of trouble? Or will my decisions get me slapped in handcuffs...again?
