Doing It To Death - Kendra Clayton Series, #6

Just when Kendra Clayton's life has finally calmed down, trouble finds her once again. A case of mistaken identity lands her smack in the middle of a beef between an ex-con named Dibb Bentley and Lewis Watts-her least favorite person on the planet. Dibb hid something in Lewis's house before he went to prison three decades ago. Now he's out. And he wants it back. Only Lewis claims he doesn't know what it is let alone where it could be.
Then Dibb's dead body turns up in Lewis's trunk and he's promptly arrested. Lewis begs Kendra to help him. But she'd love nothing more than to walk away. Unfortunately, Kendra can't turn a blind eye when the evidence against Lewis just doesn't add up. And to make matters worse, she's become a target herself. To figure out what the killer wants, Kendra must dig into a thirty-year-old murder case revealing the seedy side of her beloved hometown.
Helping Lewis also puts her at odds with sexy and infuriating homicide detective Blake Mason. When the threats against her life escalate, Mason insists she stay with him. But Kendra can't decide what she's more afraid of, a killer lurking in the shadows or her growing attraction to Mason.
