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.
The
house was large. Actually--more than
large. A mansion with dozens of rooms
upstairs and many more on the ground floor.
I took the long way, thinking I would give a light tap on Jillie’s door,
just in case she was in and maybe had company keeping her occupied. There was a staircase, just past Jillie’s room,
down to the kitchen. More for the use of
the household staff, but Jillie didn’t have anyone who lived in so it was only
used when the help came on their usual days.
Sucker punched. The odor.
Undeniable. Unmistakable.
Knowing
it wouldn’t make a difference, I prayed to the gods for a break. There wasn’t a chance it was anyone but
Jillie, but for once, I found that small molecule of hope glowing in my
heart. Hesitating, just for that moment,
I gathered my strength.
The
master suite was down a short hallway opposite the dining room. The hallway narrowed and lengthened. A scream inside my head ordered my legs to
move. Great, now Master Sergeant Craven
was in my head. I forced myself
forward.
I
knew what to do at a crime scene. I’d
been an MP for the last four years and had seen more than I wanted to.
My
stomach rolled and pitched.
