Synopsis
And then it happened, her worst fear, every woman's worst fear. A man has broken into Gules' home, blindfolded her and bound her wrists, but when he hesitates to act, Gules tries to talk to him, tries to do anything to keep him at bay. The intruder lets it slip that he knows her, that he has become infatuated with her, that he even works with her. Fearing his identity might be uncovered, he slinks away, but now Gules is committed to finding him.
Paranoia is rampant as Gules investigates every coworker at the law firm where she works as a paralegal. She has a few suspects. It could be her lecherous boss. Or maybe it's the security guard who smiles at her everyday. It might even be the messenger who delivers the intruder's letters with her mail. Even the cafeteria worker, with his lustful eyes, cannot be trusted. Oh, but her prime suspect is undoubtedly the new paralegal she must work with.
However, when the intruder returns for a second visit, he comes for her mind, not her body. Talking to her was far more gratifying to him than sex. She bargains with him to leave her home and never return. He agrees, for a price: one kiss. At first glance, the request is easy to grant compared to the chastity of her body. However, that single kiss may cost her something far more valuable, and if she does not find out who the intruder is soon, she runs the risk of losing her heart in the search.
Perillegal is a mystery novel with a hint of forbidden romance.
