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

Riding up to the fifth floor with Jessie in the elevator, Alan excused himself to make some calls. Jess found Zach's room number and walked inside. He was still out cold. She stood over him and gently rubbed the hair from his forehead. Something her mother had done to her when she was sick as a child.


Jess sat down and held Zach's hand. She chastised herself because she knew she'd been very selfish when they lived together...that she hadn't tried hard enough to make it work. Zach had done everything he could to make her happy and what did she do? She walked out on him. The hurtful words she'd said to him before he'd gotten shot replayed through her mind again and cut her like a knife. She hadn't meant to say she didn't care if he got killed. God, that was the last thing she wanted. The tears rolled down her cheeks like a waterfall. She could never take those words back. He had to know she didn't mean them.
