A Guilty Affair
You can't hide from desire
![]()
Journalist Riley Kane has long suspected that the death of her fiancé, Trevor, a San Antonio police officer, was not a simple accident. The only person who can uncover the truth about Trevor is his former partner, Noah Roarke. But thoughts of Noah fill Riley with guilty longing.
Noah kept his distance from beautiful, tempting Riley while Trevor was alive. Now she's back, in his office…and in his arms. Blindsided by the heat that surges between them, Noah tells himself that the sooner he helps Riley find closure, the sooner she can leave town. But getting her out of his system—and out of his heart—won't be that easy….

“…A Guilty Affair is one of those books that does everything right. The characters are likeable, the story moves at a brisk pace, and the chemistry between the hero and heroine is red hot. The story is old-fashioned in the best sense; A Guilty Affair has good, solid writing that makes a familiar premise still interesting.
If you are looking for a thoroughly enjoyable book with a hero who loves passionately, wildly, and intensely, pick up a copy of A Guilty Affair by Maureen Smith for your summer pleasure. You won’t regret it.”
