October 13, 2004: Churning out formula thrillers has paled for former ranger Nick Sirroco. He wanted to do something more adventurous, but he meant writing, not solving a murder. When an old friend, Paddy Hawkins apparently kills himself, going against all logic and belief, Nick is sure that it was murder, not suicide. Proving that and another apparent 'suicide' are both only apparent, but are actually murder forces him to work with Paddy's daughter, ex cop Danni Hawkins. Once she had a tremendous crush on Nick, the juvenille delinquent who took the attention she wanted from her father; so mingled with that faded love is equal resentment that both must now face as they battle time and a sinister criminal to prove the truth. ............... *** Suspense is layed with levels of psychological development that builds strong, believeable characters. The protagonists have been given an in depth past that forms the basis of the current situation and draws readers farther into the story, dually making them want to slowly explore as they race to an exciting conclusion. ***

He says he was close with her dad Paddy who was helping him on a police procedural; Danni is jealous because her father never had time for her when boobs began to appear on her chest as he was to busy helping male teens in trouble. Nick admits he was one.......................... Nick persuades Danni to help him investigate who killed Paddy and why. The police believe Paddy took his own life because the evidence points overwhelmingly in that direction and insist the motive was his inability to accept retirement. As the duo works closely together, they fall in love, but someone believes they know something and not only trash their homes, but tries to kill the pair........................ AROUSE SUSPICION is an entertaining romantic suspense investigative tale that contains two wonderful protagonists whose conversations are amusing as each unsuccessfully tries to get the other to shut up when they are in their respective milieu. Readers will appreciate the tense story line as the duo struggles with their feelings for one another and for her father, a killer and the attitude of the police who believe case closed. Having Rick as an ex-Ranger makes him to conveniently capable, fans will appreciate the strong yet vulnerable heroine as she and her temporary new partner make inquiries into her father?s death and a second so called suicide......................
