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

"Hey, Abby," Jessie said, entering her office. "Are you ready for lunch?" 


"Absolutely. Give me a minute to save this document, and we'll be outta here." Abby's demeanor was upbeat. "I had a great weekend. How about you?"


"I know, Jess. You don't have to spare my feelings. I heard about the Sloper child." 


"So, what did you do over the weekend?"


"My boyfriend took me to the theater to see Wicked, and then we hung out in the city. We don't usually do stuff like that. Not because of him, but because of me. Richard and I met at the Doe Network organization, where we volunteer. Throughout our volunteering at the Network, we shared our stories with each other." She grinned, "and before you know it, we found that we had a lot more in common than we knew."


"Who did he lose?" she asked, surprised.


"His cousin. They found her, but he's still working with the organization because he remembers how horrible it was for his aunt and uncle."
