Extended description

Romance, humor, mystery:

Brad Malone, undercover cop, is trying to blend with the street community and find a killer before somebody else dies. He's been a cop for thirteen years. Dealing with murder is nothing new to him. However, he's never before dealt with anyone like television news reporter, Allison Prescott. She follows him, takes his picture, asks embarrassing questions and gets close enough that she could blow his cover.

Brad Malone, undercover cop, is trying to blend with the street community and find a killer before somebody else dies. He's been a cop for thirteen years. Dealing with murder is nothing new to him. However, he's never before dealt with anyone like television news reporter, Allison Prescott. She follows him, takes his picture, asks embarrassing questions and gets close enough that she could blow his cover. Yet in spite of his irritation with her and the warning of his own common sense, he finds himself involved in her personal life, helping her deal with her obnoxious ex, taking her daughter to a rock concert and falling in love with her.

Allison is struggling to start over after her plastic surgeon husband dumped her for his hot young nurse. Dr. Doug got the big house, the nice car and the fat bank account, though he generously offered Allison a free face lift since she's over thirty. Allison did not think it would be a good idea to let her ex anywhere near her with a sharp knife.

Now Dr. Doug is suing for custody of their daughter, twelve-year old Megan, and Allison doesn't have the money to fight him. With nothing on her resume except "homemaker" and "mom," Allison is lucky that an old friend helps her get her a job as a reporter for a local television station. However, her beginner's salary isn't enough to fight Dr. Doug in court. She needs a big story, a promotion and a raise. Allison will do whatever it takes to keep her daughter.

She's covering the story of the latest murder of a homeless man on the streets of Oklahoma City when she spots a derelict who looks anything but homeless. He's too alert, too well-muscled…too sexy. Who is this man and why is he pretending to be one of the street people? Can he be the murderer?

Her daughter thinks he's a famous rock star in hiding.

Dr. Doug thinks he's generally annoying. He resents this strange man who effortlessly hustles him out the door when he's not finished berating Allison. He's also disturbed by the spate of tickets he's suddenly getting…parking, speeding, failure to signal…but surely there's no connection.

Whoever this man is, Allison is determined to stick to him like glue until she gets the big story which will equal more money which will equal the ability to fight for her daughter. But her plans did not include falling in love.

Review by: HookedonNook on Feb. 28, 2013 :
This was first book by this author and I enjoyed it. Enough so that I have read the first of the "Chocolate" books and plan to read the 2nd.
Sally's style slowly drew me in...then kept me there.

Review by: Sylvia Morice on July 16, 2012 :
Allison Prescott has rejoined the workforce as a television news reporter after a messy divorce left her with almost nothing except a rundown house, a twelve year old daughter who was used to having only the best that life could offer, and a plastic surgeon ex-husband who keeps taking her back to court to wage custody battles. Allison needs more money and more security in order to hold her life together and retain custody of her child. When she and her cameraman, Rick, arrive at their latest assignment, the murder scene of a homeless man, Allison becomes fascinated with one of the witnesses--a homeless man who doesn’t quite fit the role.
Thus begins Allison’s determination to uncover whatever secrets this man, “Bill” is hiding from her and the rest of the world. Is he a famous rock star, or someone in the government witness protection program? Could he be the killer? No matter what his secret, Allison vows to uncover it and produce her ‘big’ story that will boost her career.
The problem is that she needs Bill’s cooperation, and getting that isn’t easy. To add to the problem, Allison finds she is attracted to this strange man, and he is attracted to her. But before they can deal with their own heady emotions they must discover who is committing these murders, for the sake of both their careers.
Writer Sally Berneathy blends suspense and romance in this fairly-light mystery "Undercover Secrets". The main characters are interesting and likable and the story flows well from one scene to another. I admit that I figured out the murderer very near the beginning of the story, so the end came as no surprise to me, but perhaps that was just a lucky guess on my part.
A book worth reading, for sure.
