Playing With Cops and Robbers

In this humorous romantic/suspense, television news reporter Shelby Saunders has had her fair share of cutting-edge stories. She was certain her segment on Old Lady Wellington’s 107th birthday would have her head on the chopping block, after the station was hit with fines from local censorships. But Shelby never thought her career would be cut short by an eight-pound peeing mutt. Only her suspension, coupled with an anger management course, would be the least of her worries.

Shelby accompanies her best friend, Keri Moldander, to a nightclub to celebrate Keri’s pending divorce from her cheating husband. Not feeling well, Shelby heads home and leaves her friend on the dance floor with handsome detective Brett Bako. The following morning, Shelby scampers across the hall to Keri’s apartment for aspirin to ease a killer headache and suddenly fears for her life when a mysterious stranger emerges from the bathroom.

After a brief scuffle with Stranger Danger, Shelby realizes the man is Keri’s absentee older brother Kyle, who chucked his expensive law degree for a life of crime. She also realizes Keri never made it home last night. With Kyle in tow, she sets out to retrace Keri’s steps, which include Keri’s estranged husband’s place and detective Brett Bako. During the investigation, Shelby’s feelings for Kyle resurface despite the fact she despises him. Things turn from bad to worse when Kyle disappears after Brett implicates him in a double homicide.

With Kyle out of the picture, Shelby gets dangerously close to Brett in order to find out the truth about Keri and Kyle. And Shelby soon learns that playing with cops and robbers is a deadly combination. One is out to save her. And one is out to make her his next victim.
