출판사 설명
One woman is caught up in a dance of desire and deception in this “sizzling suspense novel” from the USA Today–bestselling author (Publishers Weekly).
She Can Run
Ballet dancer Tommie Purnell has finally left her troubles behind her. After a devastating scandal derails her dancing career in New York, she flees to Houston for a fresh start. Once her new dance studio takes off, the rest of Tommie's life follows suit. But when a local woman connected to Tommie turns up dead, Tommie is petrified . . . and doesn't know where to turn.
But She Can't Hide
When veteran homicide detective Paulo Sanchez walks through her door, Tommie wonders if her troubles have just doubled. She and Paulo had a torrid attraction years ago . . . but she's sworn off men because of too many broken dreams. Yet the sparks between them can't be denied, and as their passion intensifies, the killer's body count also rises. That's when all clues point toward the one person Tommie thought she could finally believe in . . .
Praise for Maureen Smith and her novels
“Smith is a master crafter of sensually robust, endearing, and page-turning romantic fiction”— USA Today
“With a deft touch and solid cast of characters, Smith gives equal credence to spicy romance and nail-biting suspense on her way to an explosive conclusion.” —Publishers Weekly
“A spicy boy-meets-girl tale that will keep you turning the pages . . . Make sure you wear flame-proof gloves!” —Romantic Times
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Readers who like a pinch of plot to a pound of seduction will love Smith's sizzling suspense novel, which reads like the screenplay for an erotic film. There's not a lot of romance but plenty of sex as dance teacher Tomasina "Tommie" Purnell and homicide cop Paulo Sanchez strut their unbelievably hot bodies through a couple of murders. Smith (No One but You) takes a refreshingly casual, low-key approach to interracial dating. Paulo and his partner, Julius Donovan, are well drawn and the minor characters are memorable, but Smith goes over the top with Tommie, a former stripper with sexy curves who improbably became a prima ballerina at age 29. The investigation is written in a smooth, flowing style, but the prose turns purple whenever Tommie and Paulo get together, and sex often overrides suspense.

Absolutely amazing! I loved this book! The love scenes were hot and steamy and the mystery kept me guessing till the end. Loved both of the characters and hope that there's a story about Daniela. I highly recommend this book!
Excellent
This book is all you need to keep you on the edge. It has romance, suspense and drama. All wrapped into one. The characters Tommie and Paulo are characters whom seemed to be made to be together...
