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

Kensington-Gerard Detective Series

The early morning sunlight stirred Jessie from a sound sleep. She moaned in pain from a headache that throbbed...the result of too many martinis. She rubbed her temples, willing the sledgehammer effect bouncing off her skull to subside and wished she'd listened to Zach about not having another drink. 


"Oh God," tripped off her tongue. The memory of last night rushed to the front of her mind. Her hand instinctively reached over to the opposite side of the bed and patted the mattress. It was empty. She blew out a steady stream of air, relieved. Thank God they hadn't slept together. Contented the alcohol hadn't clouded her judgment; she grabbed the extra pillow and covered her face to shield her eyes from the brightness. Inhaling the smell of Zach's cologne embedded in the pillowcase made her gasp. "Oh no," she said, pressing the pillow into her face. It was true. They had slept together.
