| Alexa's fiance was murdered four months ago in a carjacking on the Long Island Expressway, and she has been unable to shed her remorse and guilt. A job offer for a paralegal in the District Attorney's office in a small North Carolina town seems like the answer she needs. When she's hired over the phone without any reference checks, Alexa jumps at the opportunity to leave the area so fraught with memories. Even the step down in position from attorney to paralegal may match with the supposedly slower pace of life and reduce the intensity and frequency of her guilt-ridden nightmares.
Christian Fields has held the office of D.A. for the past four years, a low-stress position involving no fresh emotional scars or involvements. Now he has hired Alexa Santori from Long Island, and he expects life is about to change, and not for the better. When they meet, each discovers the other is holding their cards very closely there's much neither will reveal to the other. Layers upon layers of secrets swirl around the two. Their magnetic attraction for each other is intense. Deadly Laundry is an intriguing and suspenseful novel, capturing the reader's attention from the first, and offering a plethora of well-spaced plot twists and turns. Alexa is a strongly independent heroine who nonetheless has a currently shaky emotional foundation and some psychological problems stemming from the death of her fiancé. Christian is a seriously hot hero. He seems even more desirable because of his secrecy and aloofness. He is truly a mysterious Gothic protagonist.
