The Kensington-Gerard Detective series follows the careers of NYPD Homicide Detectives Jessie Kensington and her partner Zachary Gerard as they fight crime in the city that never sleeps. Jessie is a good detective, but is damaged with commitment issues that have a fearsome grip on her present. Gerard’s been around law all his life as seen through the eyes of his father, a hotshot attorney with a reputation for racking up not guilty verdicts on his son’s cases. That only adds to their already tenuous relationship.
Greed, betrayal, sexual tension, threats on their lives, abductions, and missing witnesses makes for an ongoing parade of cases that seem unsolvable, but the fascination of seeing the evidence mount, regardless of setbacks, the pieces of the puzzle always seem to fit into a nice neat little package. In the end, persistence on Zach’s part opens Jessie’s mind to the fullness of a life her heritage has denied her. THE KENSINGTON-GERARD DETECTIVE SERIES IS CREATED BY K. T. ROBERTS

"Well, this has certainly been an interesting morning," Jessie said to her partner as they watched the Stuarts walk away.


"To say the least." He shook his head. "Hopefully, the Stuarts will be more useful once they're dressed and down at headquarters." 


"You thought she was pretty nice, huh, Zach?" A tiny surge of jealousy tugged at her heart as she waited for his response.


"Are you kidding me? She's not my type of woman. Not that I'm knocking her choice of sex games." He turned to her and released a loud whoop. "What do you think, Jessie? Are you going to be that kind of woman when you get married?"


"Probably not, because I'm never getting married."


"Yes, you are. You're going to marry me." He gave her a wink, and she thought her heart would jump right out of her chest. The heat from a blush colored her cheeks. 


"Well, I'm embarrassed for Mrs. Stuart," she lied. "Now, everyone knows about their fetish."
