In the New Orleans French Quarter, Claude Lafitte slept with Claire "no last name"; the next day she is dead. FBI Agent Akela Brooks accidentally stumbles on the corpse while working a different investigation. She arrests Claude, but instead of bringing him in, he abducts her as he flees into the bayou.

Claude knows he must take some sort of action to prove that he is being framed for the homicide, but is not sure what or how to evade the cops who will surely be looking for him. His only hope resides with persuading Akela of his innocence, and that if he can do that impossibility, she will break law enforcement ranks to team up with him to find the real killer.

POSSESSION is the fabulous opening police procedural romantic tale of the Dangerous Liaisons series. The storyline is filled with non-stop action, as Claude finds himself caught in a web in which his only hope to escape is the law enforcement official Akela trying to arrest him. Fans will feel the sexual tension between the agent and the suspect, as neither want to trust the other while love complicates the matter. In spite of the specter of the hurricane on the New Orleans' locations, this is a fine thriller from Team Carrington.
