Jacqueline: As an adult woman--and the vice president of a marketing firm--I shouldn't be waiting by my office window to ogle the mystery man who jogs by every morning at 11:45. Sure, he's a gorgeous, perfect specimen of the human race, but I can't bring myself to hit on a total stranger. However, my best friend-slash-colleague Vince Carson thinks I should do more than talk to the guy. In fact, he's borderline obsessive about "getting me laid." (His words.) But the more time we spend together, the more it's clear: The one I'm falling for is Vince.

Vince: Jackie Butler's got it bad for some pompous, over-pumped A-hole who struts his stuff past her window. That doesn't bother me. I know she deserves nice things. What does bother me is that she friend-zoned me big-time last year, so I can't ask her out myself. But what if I set her up with Mr. Steroids? Then, when he breaks her heart, I can swoop in and save her like the nice guy I am. Everything's going according to plan . . . until we share a ridiculously epic kiss. And suddenly anything is possible.

Laugh out loud funny, yet smoking hot! You can cut the sexual tension with a knife between these two, and once they get on track with admitting their attraction, they connect majorly! A really fun read.

Co-Vice President coworkers and best buddies Jackie Butler and Vince Carson have been each other’s sounding boards through a lot. Now the jig is up as Vince figures out that Jackie is lusting after some hunky jock that runs by her office window at the same time every day and Vince sets out to pull a trick on her. He convinces her to let him coach her into getting back out there and dating again when what he really wants is for her to want him instead!

Jackie is excited when runner guy takes her up on her offer of coffee, and then wants to see her again. She’s having fun and enjoying his attention … only when she’s with him, she finds herself thinking of Vince and comparing the two. When Vince admits he wants her, she doesn’t know what to do. Can they risk their great friendship for something they don’t know will go anywhere?

If you can’t trust yourself, who can you trust?

Cass is having a hard time since the night she saw the car in the woods, on the winding rural road, in the middle of a downpour, with the woman sitting inside—the woman who was killed. She’s been trying to put the crime out of her mind; what could she have done, really? It’s a dangerous road to be on in the middle of a storm. Her husband would be furious if he knew she’d broken her promise not to take that shortcut home. And she probably would only have been hurt herself if she’d stopped.

But since then, she’s been forgetting every little thing: where she left the car, if she took her pills, the alarm code, why she ordered a pram when she doesn’t have a baby.

The only thing she can’t forget is that woman, the woman she might have saved, and the terrible nagging guilt.

Or the silent calls she’s receiving, or the feeling that someone’s watching her…

An electrifying delve into guilt, terror and the unknown! Strong characters and a plot that keeps you guessing right up until the end!

Cass Anderson can’t forget that night. A crazy downpour, heading home by herself in the dark, taking the shortcut along a dark desolate road that she knew would infuriate her husband, seeing the woman in a car, being too scared to get out of her car to offer help. She can’t just go on about her life like everyone seems to be doing around her, because she has a secret. No one knows that she was there that night. No one knows that she saw the woman but didn’t stop to help … the woman that turned up dead the next morning.

Now she’s losing her mind. She forgets her keys, forgets she took her pills, gets the alarm code backwards … and those calls. Those unknown, silent calls are driving her crazy. She can’t take this guilt anymore … she can’t handle the feeling that someone is watching her … she can’t tolerate the phone ringing.
