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

Zach opened his eyes and looked over at Jessie who was sleeping so soundly. God, he loved this woman. It was hard to believe his luck. He pulled her closer and she moaned. "It's time to wake up, sleepyhead." 


"Just a little longer," she said in her groggy morning voice. 


"Uh, not really. We're on a work vacation."


"Just a few more minutes," she forced out, then dozed off with a slight snore. He grinned at the cute sounds coming from her, then brushed away a strand of red hair that covered her face and leaned in to kiss her forehead. Pulling the covers off, he sat up ready to hit the shower. 


He really liked that she wanted to stay in bed a little longer. A good sign for sure, or at least it would have been if she'd stayed awake, but he chalked that up to being content in their relationship. Besides, he didn't really mind his new role as her human snooze button.
