This is the second book of a two part series. Erin McEnzie has been suspended as a homicide detective and can't remember what happened the night her partner got shot and another woman got killed. Her target, Elizabeth Adams is more than that now, and it seems not to be a one way thing. However, there is still a killer on the loose and Adams is still a suspect. There is much more here than anyone suspects and both Erin and Liz will be at risk.
Ok Chapter 2 - damn I live in Georgia where Kudzu is the state flower I believe. You transported me back in time and took me on the journey of their terror just as if I had been standing there watching the entire scene. Life in your story is no different then real life. Ronica you have accomplished a true feeling of real life in how you write. Thank you for sharing it with us. I can understand more about Jay's paranoia and why death is her way of protecting those she loves. Looking forward to chapter 3 with anticipation. - Shadylady - Aug 16th, 2004    Can't wait to see where this goes. More soon I hope!!! - Shaybe - Sep 1st, 2004    I found this story enthralling. From the opening paragraph to the closing one, I was completely gripped. There is no doubt that Ronica Black ranks up there with the very best of the bards. - Diane - Oct 4th, 2004    ml3hYR Very neat article.Really looking forward to read more. Keep writing. - http://crork.com/ - Jun-17-2012

Exposed by Ronica Black     

Original / Uber | Modern | Alternative (Mature) | Romance (alt) | Short Story - 18 pages | Finished | Sep-04 Cast: Gwen, Beth, Wally, Ann, Jenny, Lita Honors/Awards:  Perennial Favorite Award: #24 in 2004, #76 in 2005, #56 in 2008     Two-Time Top-25 #1.
In this erotic tale, Gwen had memorized everything about Kyle and Cody's mom from Beth the first day she had seen her, and as an after school program teacher, she'd seen her every day. Beth had been noticing Gwen too since she was a breath takingly beautiful young woman with light brown hair, green eyes, incredibly fit and curvy body. Neither one knew just how to approach the other, but Gwens' second job takes care of that, which comes as a surprising exposure for both!
Excellent! Just what a short story should be. I highly recommend this if you want a fast good read. - darkenedkarma - Sep 23rd, 2004    HOT! And of course...NOT nearly long enough! LOL - jlnickymaster - Sep 27th, 2004    NEEDS A FOLOW UP BADLY- abut 69 more chapters. rely good one i am inpresed. - SammyLee - Oct 6th, 2004    Makes me wonder about having a second career and the fun of juggling two diverse jobs. Great job on capturing the feelings and expressions of the characters. - Shadylady - Oct 18th, 2004    I think, I need a tall drink of water and a lap dance, not necessarily in that other. Thank you Ms Black. - B. - Apr 27th, 2005    After reading Ms. Black's new novel "In TOO Deep", I wanted more! This is an adorable story with incredible characters. Great job! - HK - Oct 13th, 2005    After reading In Too Deep via book, I was intrigued with Ms. Black's work. I am thrilled to find this adorable story along with a couple of others. This story shows how well Ms. Black captures characters.

Ms Black writing is unique to me as she has managed to differentiate not just her story lines, the characters, but also avoided the similarity of sex scenes, dialoques in her multiple stories. - sue4rab - Aug-20-2008    hot hot stuff! - Anonymous - Aug-28-2008    wow... what a stunner. i am reluctant to leave gwen and beth. would love to see more of their romance but am happy with what they started. - kc - Jul-05-2010    This is one of the hottest short story out there!

This is the first book of a two part series. Erin McEnzie is a rookie homicide detective who gets asked to go in undercover to help solve a serial murder case. Her target is the elusive and dangerously gorgeous Elizabeth Adams. She's quickly in over her head as her long buried attraction to women begins to surface and at the hands of a suspected killer.
An intriguing series. The first story had me vaccilating between the 3 main characters and the sequel looks promising too. Excellent story. - E - Aug 15th, 2004    Wow, this story is just amazing. And I think the scene between Erin and Liz is the hottest I've ever read! I'm really looking forward to the sequel and how things turn out. Does anybody else wish that Erin and Liz end up together?? - Anonymous - Aug 30th, 2004    This story is absolutely good. The characters seem real and the plot kept me reading well into the night. Believe me when I say you have to read this story because you will hooked from the first word to the last. I highly recommend this to everyone. Just when you think you figured it out, something else happens and that is what kept me reading. Can't wait to read the sequel. - Meg - Aug 30th, 2004    Ok , so I stayed up late and read this because I just had to see what happened. Nice job !!!! - Shaybe - Sep 1st, 2004    Found this one at the local bookstore. It is the first in her Deep series. Well worth the read. Characters with depth, mystery, usual amount of angst...LOL. Have already ordered the next one in the series. - Lee - Aug-11-2008    this author sure knows her stuff.. well written with a nice twist.. buy the book.. - xtra dog - Oct-03-2011

Wow, another great story by a great writer! Read all of your stories and loved every single one of them. Thank you for such great stories. - Anonymous - Feb 28th, 2005    UNBELIEVABLE!!! I couldn't catch my breath and then I was hyperventilating while reading! Gods, so amazing! Not only is this a beautiful story but also makes me think of my crush on the teacher back in school. And I deeply thank you for that Ms. Black because your story reminded me that SHE made me the person I am today :) - AquariusG - Mar 1st, 2005    Ms Black keeps getting better. Her stories evolve in plot, setting, timing, and style. For everyone who ever had a crush on a teacher or someone similar, this is highly recommendable reading. Brings back old memories and takes you right back to that time... I'm looking forward for more of Ms Black's work. - annika - Mar 4th, 2005    The author truly captures the heart of us all with this story. What amazing depth and incredible writing. Thank you Ronica! - Anonymous - Apr 15th, 2005    This has to be one of the best stories out there today! Not only is it tender and sweet, but it's not contrived. You find yourself falling for your first love all over again. A must read, esepcially for those of us that have ever had a crush on a beloved teacher. - Aprlskd - Apr 17th, 2005    This is a great story. It is for all of us who have had a crush on our teacher or coach. Oh to realize who I was at 15 instead of 25... - Lee - Aug-11-2008    This story... it was extremely easy for me to connect to, having gone through the same thing when I was sixteen. Okay, so the crush on the teacher was the same, anyways. I think this story really encompasses the feelings that I had during that confusing time and I hope anyone that has had the experience of falling for a teacher or coach will give this story a chance. - Hillsys Stalker - Aug-12-2008    Great Read!!! Unbelievable!! I enjoyed every second of it!!! - Anonymous - Aug-12-2008    GREAT - Anonymous - Aug-12-2008    Loved it.
