Tamika Jade — Rachel E. Rice

San Francisco, 1969: Tamika Jade is a recent transplant from Texas who works at a small detective agency owned by a Chinese gambler. She has had this job for a few mornings and is more concerned about lunch than the dark chocolate, smooth, and easy to swallow hunk that sauntered into the Jade and Le Detective Agency. Tamika falls hard for the good looking, rough around the edges, country bumpkin. The only problem is -- Derrick is paying her to find his girl- friend who has a tattoo of a rose on her thigh. Will Tamika find the girl with the rose tattoo and risk losing her life and the man she desires? Is Derrick setting Tamika up to be killed? Will Tamika learn the truth before it's too late?
