Still licking his wounds over blowing it with Carolyn Woods,
the love of his life, Jack Heart drinks to excess daily. His apartment is in
shambles, he's isolated himself from all his friends, and he stumbles to the
couch every night to sleep off an alcoholic stupor. All that changes when he
receives a phone call with a job offer from a man he barely knew.
Suddenly, Jack must track down an embezzler inside a swanky corporation
riff with politics, game-playing, and treachery. The deeper Jack goes, the more
dirt he finds. Can this out-of-place detective survive and still crack the
case? Not to mention certain women he works with have plans for Jack—way more
than he bargained for.
One thing is certain: Jack's
taste for danger will take him to the edge of disaster.

11 Things You Didn't Know About
A
Taste For Danger
A Taste For Danger is part of the "Chasing
The Taste" series. The first book in the series was called A Taste For
Killing.
All the books in the series focus on one or the
other of two main heroes, Carolyn Woods and Jack Heart. A Taste For Killing is
told from Carolyn's point of view. A Taste For Danger is told from Jack's point
of view. Each book can also be read as a stand-alone.
Carolyn and Jack are both independent detectives
who sometimes cooperate and other times compete with one
another.
All the books in the "Chasing The Taste"
series are about characters, both good and bad who are chasing something they
feel they are missing. This might be money or fame or more nebulous things such
as love or self- esteem.
A Taste For Killing takes place around the
construction trade.
A Taste For Danger takes place in the arena of
large corporations.
Both Jack and Carolyn have very healthy sexual
appetites. But is it with each other?
You have to read the books to find out.
Both books take place in a large city. Maybe New
York? ; )
Romance is not far away from Carolyn and Jack in
both books, in several directions!
The author of A Taste For Danger and the
"Chasing The Taste" series also wrote a short "Flirt" for
Breathless Press called Eyes Only. That book was about the area of clandestine
operations.
With H.K. Sterling's penchant for mystery and
suspense, you probably haven't heard the last from Jack or Carolyn!
