In the shadows of Charleston, someone is watching her... Rylee Monroe, a dogwalker in Charleston's wealthiest neighborhood, never feared the streets at night. But now a thief is terrorizing the area and worse, someone seems to be targeting her.
Reporter Logan Woods is covering the break-ins with the hope of publishing them as a true-crime book. The more he digs, the more he realizes this beguiling dogwalker seems to be at the center of everything. As danger draws ever closer, Logan must choose: Chase the girl, the story, or plunge into the shadows after the villain who threatens everything?

I really enjoyed the collaborative efforts of Deeanne Gist and J. Mark Bertrand. This was only the 2nd of Deeanne's literary works that I have read; and, since this is J. Mark's first published work (with another coming later this year), it's obviously the first time I've read anything by him. I was very pleased. Beguiled was the perfect combination of romance and mystery/suspense. I had a few ideas about how the book would end, but I was only partially right. There were enough twists and turns in the plot to keep me guessing and keep me reading. As a matter of fact, this one kept me up 'til after midnight, waiting to turn the final page and find out how it would end. I enjoyed the references to Charleston. Though I've never been there, it sounds like an intriguing place and I could picture the areas in my head, just through the great word illustrations. I would definitely like to see more books by this combination of authors.
