SEXY AND SMART, SILVER LEGRANDE ALWAYS GOT HER MAN

Armed with a diploma in street smarts and enough curves to make a grown man cry, Silver LeGrande set out to solve the murder that had invaded her life. But the killer seemed prepared to do anything to cover up the first degree crime???even repeat it.

Silver's greatest ally was a hell-bent cop named Alexi Serras who had eyes of steel that saw through her tough-girl facade straight into her heart and soul. In between the murder and mayhem, would they find a match made in heaven?
