Deeper Than Love

Blake Karrington once again takes you on a Southern literary ride with his latest criminal romance.

In Deeper than Love, find out what happens when Ciara and Sabrina fail to realize that the answers they seek to close the biggest case of their careers are closer than they appear.

When Agent Ciara Valentine is sent to the Atlanta Bureau of the FBI, she never imagines the turn of events she will encounter in her personal and professional life as she launches her new career path. Upon arriving at her new work location, Ciara finds that her “mystery” partner is none other than Sabrina, her FBI Academy classmate. Together, they investigate the ongoing robberies that have drained millions of dollars from banks all over Atlanta.

With nothing but dead ends and weeks of unanswered questions in their case, Ciara and Sabrina decide to relieve some stress by having a night out on the town. While enjoying their girls’ night out, Sabrina runs into her ex, Tremaine. Sparks fly, and old flames reignite. However, the same can’t be said for Ciara or Dominique, the most sought-after bachelor of Atlanta. Both Sabrina and Tremaine try to make a love connection between their two friends but quickly nix the idea after seeing that neither one is interested.

When they meet again under less-than-ordinary circumstances, Ciara and Dominique promptly discover that they have much more in common than they thought and begin exploring the connection they first denied.
