BLURB:
He has a dead body. She has the seedy connections. To solve the
crime they are forced to work together.
To
keep her mother’s reputation from destroying her, Ashley Dix Gibson had to learn
at an early age to persevere and tune out the lies, gossip, and the
bullies. Detective Michael DeMarco has
no desire to team up with a woman with ties to the underbelly of the porn
industry but if he wants to solve his case, he has no other options. When
Ashley and DeMarco combine their resources to find a brutal killer, sparks of
distrust turn into the fires of passion.
Excerpt:
I must
have been feeling weak, because instead of rushing out to confront a few of
those I wanted to talk to, I invited DeMarco in. He’d left Braden in charge of the scene and
didn’t appear to be in a rush to start the reports he’d have to do. That thought made me smile. For once I wasn’t chained to a desk for
seventy-five percent of the investigation.
I could get used to being out of the Army and doing things my own way.
“Glad
to see the smile. I know this has been
extremely hard on you,” DeMarco said.
“Want to share?”
“I was
thinking about Jillie, wanting me to come home.
She kept trying to talk me into the leaving the military. It took her death to accomplish that.” Hot, wet tears started streaming down my
face. Appalled, I turned away from
DeMarco and stumbled toward the bedroom.
He didn’t say anything or try to stop me, but he did follow me. When I
didn’t collapse on the bed, he put his arms around me, gave a gently hug and
helped me to sit on the mattress.
Damn. This was awkward. The harder I tried to stop crying, the more I
leaked tears. I don’t cry. I don’t show emotion, especially to
guys. I didn’t want to feel the warmth
of his touch and long to put my head on his shoulder. But I did.
Before I knew what was happening his lips were on mine and I was holding
him. Desperate to keep from drowning.
He
pushed back, looking into my eyes.
Reading me like the clichéd open book.
