(From back cover) Chalk it up to the heat...or to hormones, but when San Francisco P.I. Aileen Douglass catches the sexy young Gyspy man trying to hot-wire her car, she doesn't call the cops. Instead she gives him a lift into Oakland...and lands herself in a twisted case of murder.
Nick inhabits the strange world of the Romany, a dangerous one, as Aileen learns, when she stumbles across a dead fortune-teller, then dodges a hail of bullets. Next, Aileen's only paying client--a jilted fiance searching for his missing bride--is murdered, her office ransacked and her partner drugged, and she discovers these cases are connected...by a missing $100,000.
Tough and resourceful, but a sucker for a gorgeous young man in distress, Aileen's got more than a professional interest in the case. Luckily love--unlike murder--isn't fatal... She hopes.
