Philadelphia investigative reporter Kelly Robolo is recovering
from a nasty gunshot wound. Formerly in tight with the cops, she is
now Typhoid Mary; her appearance at the wrong time
while following a news story got an undercover cop killed, and the
local cops have taken to harassing her whenever they see her.
When Kelly's good friend, Victoria Bowman, begs Kelly to investigate
her husband Jonathan's mysterious disappearance, Kelly reluctantly
agrees to help, although she's not exactly in the peak of health.
Jonathan was a high-ranking officer of a major
casino in Atlantic City, and the wealthy owner of the casino is
rumored to have Mob ties. Kelly needs help from the police, and so
approaches Detective Nick McBride. McBride is hostile,
but eventually agrees to help Kelly. McBride's father was murdered
while he was working as a security guard at the same casino, and
he is convinced that the two cases are connected. Now Kelly and
Nick must work together to find out what happened to
Jonathan. But someone clearly doesn't want Kelly to succeed, and
is willing to go to any lengths to stop her. Can Kelly and Nick
find a killer before he makes Kelly his next victim?
With Blind Faith, Christiane Heggan has crafted a taut, exciting suspense thriller with just the right touch of romance to keep things spicy.

The chemistry between Nick and Kelly is explosive, the pacing is fast, and the story has enough twists and turns to keep you reading until the wee hours of the morning. Lovers of romantic suspense will be in heaven with the latest offering from the talented Christiane Heggan.
