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

Jessie fought to remain calm. Showing any signs of weakness would give Rena the upper hand.


When she heard Rena's laughter in the distance, Jessie knew whoever hit her was an accomplice, and any movement on her part might piss the mad batter off enough that she'd be beaten to death.


Zach's face flashed through her mind. She knew she was on her own with this one. He wouldn't be home until late tonight. 


It was difficult to focus on anything except the pain searing through her body. Praying, she begged God to keep her from passing out for fear of what Rena would do to her. She lay on the hard, cold pavers, her entire body ached and stung, making it hard to breathe. She tried to raise her head, but the pain lanced her skull and left her feeling dizzy and unable to form a coherent thought.
