Michael, suspected of murdering his almost-ex-wife, turns to Roxann for help; a ballsy move given that he walked away from their relationship twelve-years ago and married someone else. Roxann is still hurt by his desertion but, as the publisher of Chicago's second largest newspaper, she realizes that she needs to set aside her feelings and take advantage of the scoop the paper will get by helping him. Michael, CEO of his own security company, and Roxann find themselves caught in a dangerous conspiracy that puts them both at risk.
I have thoroughly enjoyed all three books in this series. RISKING TRUST has the emotional depth and aura of danger I've come to expect from Ms. Giordano's books. Both Michael and Roxann have family and professional issues that add depth and realism to the story. The chemistry between them is strong and I could imagine them in my head tip-toeing around each other as they try to figure out how to work together given their history (and the fact that neither ever really got over the other). If you are a fan of romantic suspense, you should definitely pick this on up.
Book Summary
Roxann Thorgesson’s world is out of control. After her father suffers a fatal heart attack, she must take over as publisher of Chicago’s second-largest newspaper. Then her ex-boyfriend Michael Taylor, CEO of his own security company, shows up needing a favor. The last thing Roxann needs is Michael around causing trouble—and potential heartbreak—but he’s involved in a scandalous story she can’t pass up.
Twelve years ago, Michael walked out on Roxann without explanation. Now he needs her help. Michael’s estranged wife has been murdered and he is the prime suspect. He offers something no newspaperwoman could refuse: exclusive access to his headline-making murder accusation, in exchange for her help in uncovering the true killer. When their investigation leads them to a city hall conspiracy, both their lives and their newly reignited flame could be permanently extinguished…
