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

"Have the Stuarts arrived from this morning's crime scene?" Jessie asked, stopping in front of the desk sergeant.


"Yes, ma'am." He gave her a lopsided grin. "The woman is in Interview Room three. The man is behind door number two." 


Zach came up beside her and leaned over the high desk. "I'll bet that beautiful woman just made your day, huh, Sarge?" he whispered.


The balding, middle-aged sergeant nodded. "You bet, Detective."


Jessie shook her head at the two men. "I think you should take Mrs. Stuart, Zach." 


"No. I think you should take Mrs. Stuart."


"Nope. You said you're the expert when it comes to women, so here's your chance, hotshot. Just throw some of that masculine charm on her, and she'll be eating out of your hand." She turned on her heels. "Tootles," she waved her hand in the air and made her way down the hall.


"Detectives," the desk sergeant said, "please don't fight over who should take the woman. I'd be happy to take her off your hands."
