Katherine D. Jones’s Perilous Passions



Talented author, Katherine D. Jones left us far too soon when she passed away last May. However, she left us with one final work to enjoy along with her many other novels. Her latest release Perilous Passions was just released by Parker Publishing and I can't wait to read it. I had the pleasure of interviewing her last year. You can check the interview out here:

Book Blurb:
Former policewoman, Karen Bryant, creates a new life for herself after a career-ending injury. Instead of finding a way to help criminally-troubled families in her Cleveland neighborhood, she finds a way to prevent criminal activity with a program aimed at the youth. Unfortunately, her one obstacle appeared to be sexy officer, Caro Spencer. Caro Spencer is a cop with a chip on his shoulder. He's been tasked to work with Karen, following his convalescent leave, and he's not happy about his reassignment. A misunderstanding separates them, but once they realize they've both been immature and stubborn, they find that anger was just a cover up for a sizzling desire for one another. Karen and Caro fight crime during the day and fight their passion for each other at night, until unstoppable desire pushes them over the edge. Karen and Caro fall headlong into each other's arms and into a Perilous Passion that will have them fighting for their lives and their love.

Romantic Times Book Review:
"This late author's talent for characterization and plotting is obvious in this steamy, suspenseful and unforgettable novel, her last -- and possibly greatest -- work.
Summary: Karen Bryant is the director of a youth center that brings in police officers to mentor students. Caro Spencer, a police detective assigned to work with Karen's center as a part of his rehabilitation, is not happy about being a "babysitter."
Karen and Caro clash at their first, second and third meetings, but one thing they're both clear on is the searing-hot chemistry that envelops them whenever they're in the same room. Can they protect each other when there's danger lurking around every corner?" ~ Eleanor S. Shields for Romantic Times Book Review
