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

Alone in the living room, Maria was concerned about Sonny. "Are you okay, Sonny?" Maria asked.


"I don't know, Maria. I don't know how I'm going to deal with Gabi's grief. I guess I'll have to call Amanda's parents. I'm sure they're pretty upset too."


"You should go to them, Sonny. They're your family." She gave him a sympathetic glance. "Can I make you a cup of soup or tea?"


"No. I'm not hungry." His facial expression changed. "I'd like a Bourbon on the rocks, though." Maria stood to leave. Patrick reached for her hand. "You might just become a mother, after all." He looked lovingly into her eyes. "Would you like that?"


Maria stared at him with astonishment and pulled back. "Sonny. Stop talking crazy stuff. I know you're upset, but be careful about what you say. You don't want Gabi hearing you write her mother off so quickly."


"But if you could take care of her, would you?"
