Life of the Party — Trudy Doyle

Detective Doug Welland never got over the sexual obsession that was defense attorney Gina Bardone, even taking a bullet to numb her rejection two years earlier. Now the fiery Gina is Congressman Jack Falco's chief of staff, and she's back from D.C., in trouble and begging for Doug's help.

The last thing Gina ever wanted was to destroy the love of her life, yet faced with divulging a sordid truth that could crush them both, she chose to walk away.

Suddenly they're given a second chance while chasing down a cyber-stalker, and Doug must once again confront their mutually erotic yet potentially fatal attraction. Gina knows she needs to bare herself in every possible way to get Doug past his bitterness long enough to give her the protection she so desperately needs, hoping the promise of love will make it all worth the risk.
