Thick As Thieves

Undercover OSBI agent Harper Montgomery came home to bury his brother, but couldn't leave until he found out why Annie, the love of Harper's life, had not waited for him, but had instead married his brother and given him a son, who was now nine. Harper is stunned to realize the old feelings are still alive deep inside him. But are they real, or merely ghosts from his past?

Annie had loved Harper desperately. And now, here he stands, beside her husband's, his brother's, grave. Yearnings she had not felt in ten years stir to life inside her, but she has no right to them.

Then Annie's house is ransacked. She receives threatening phone calls, and Harper knows it has something to do with Mike's death. Annie said Mike had been drunk when he'd left for work that last time. The autopsy did not mention that. Things did not add up.

Together they have to find the answers, and, at the same time, decide if their feelings for each other were from years ago - the boy he had been, the girl he had loved - or could the woman she has become love the man he now is? And would her son learn to accept Harper in his life?

"A handsome Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation agent discovers some painful truths about his relationship with his sister-in-law and her son when he attends his brother's funeral in THICK AS THIEVES. Janis Reams Hudson handles the strong mainstream elements of this complicated plot with dexterity, presenting a nicely paced sensual romance."
