Veil of Night / Linda Howard

Veil of night by Linda Howard. 340 p.

After a bad day at work, Jaclyn stops in a bar for a drink. She (metaphorically) runs into Eric, a very attractive man whom she literally ran into earlier in the day. They hit it off and have a one-night stand. The next day, each of them wonders if they might continue dating...but then one of Jaclyn's clients is murdered after publicly assaulting and firing Jaclyn, and Eric is the detective assigned to the case. Complications ensue. Jaclyn's a wedding planner, so we get to see some comical weddings along the way. As usual, Howard's male hero is a tad too alpha to suit me; in real life he'd be annoying, but in fiction it's fine. After the last couple of nonfiction books I've been slogging through, this was a nice, light change of pace.
