"Ellen James writes with warmth, wit and style. I look forward to each new book."-Debbie Macomber
Michael Turner is the man next door and he's got problems!
He's an ex-cop turned P.I., who's pretending to be a writer.
His partner-normally the most rational of women-is pretending she's pregnant.
His eleven-year-old son-whom he loves-isn't pretending anything, but then, the boy's barely talking to him.
His father-whom he loathes (no pretense here)-is back in town.
And to top it all, he's becoming dangerously attracted to the woman next door, a woman he's been paid investigate, a woman who just might be pretending that she hasn't murdered her husband.
