Arouse Suspicion
by Maureen McKade

When police officer Paddy Hawkins is found dead in his bedroom with a revolver in his hand and a note on the nightstand, all the evidence points to suicide. Case closed—except to one man. Ex-Army Ranger Nick Sirocco was the last person to hear from Paddy. And the message that Paddy left him didn't sound like a man about to take his own life. To find out what happened to his friend, Nick will turn to the one woman he knows he can trust...

Ex-cop Danni Hawkins didn't buy that her father was murdered—until she heard his final message. Now, with Nick's help, she must uncover the tracks left behind by an elusive killer. She can't afford to let herself get distracted by the steamy attraction between her and Nick. But as their trail takes them deeper into the heart of corruption, Danni realizes the killer may be closer than she ever thought possible...

Maureen McKade's Bio

Maureen McKade began her professional writing career when she sold her first manuscript to Avon Books in October 1995. That book, WINTER HEARTS, was twice a national awards finalist, first in The Golden Heart, then as a finalist in the RWA's RITA awards in the Best First Book category.

Maureen's most recent Avon release, HIS UNEXPECTED WIFE, has also been chosen by Rhapsody Book Club to be a featured alternate selection. Her first time travel romance, AT MIDNIGHT, one of the Hope Chest series, was released in October by Zebra under the pseudonym Maura McKenzie.

An Air Force wife for over seventeen years, Maureen has found a career in writing to be well suited to the somewhat nomadic life of the military. Currently she and her husband live at Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota with their dog and cat.
