Smokescreen — Carol Ericson

LAPD Homicide Detective, Fenn MacGregor, is not looking to rescue another damsel in distress. His wife died of an accidental overdose of drugs and booze, and despite his best efforts he was powerless to save her. He's not going to get caught in that trap again. Then he meets Deirdre Kelly, a witness to the murder of a transient...and all bets are off.

But Deirdre, a sultry rock singer with a hard edge, is no damsel in distress. She's been fighting her own battles ever since she failed her parents' expectations by choosing rock over opera. Now she's ready to take on a killer.

As a web of murder and betrayal weaves around Deirdre, Fenn's protective instincts shift into high gear and sparks fly as their attraction grows stronger. But will a killer douse the flame before it turns into an inferno?
