In The Midst of Passion

When garage owner Topaz Emerson meets newspaper publisher Alexander Rice on a deserted road in Charlotte, North Carolina she’s understandably intrigued. Looks aside, there’s something about Alex that tugs and tugs relentlessly. Topaz never bothers to ask about his past…
For years, Alex has been haunted by memories of his days as a contract killer. Regardless of all that he’s accomplished, he can’t quite escape the ghosts that relentlessly pursue. Meeting Topaz brings hope that he isn’t doomed to live a cursed half-life.
That hope is soon threatened when Topaz and her fellow small business owners find themselves tangled in a mysterious land deal. The stakes are high and the results could be fatal. To protect the woman he loves, Alex may have to submit to his relentless ghosts and kill again.
