Blurb:
Online serial dater turns
out to be a serial killer. But when Death claims this murderer, why is Minx
also in danger?
KISSES CAN BE DEADLY
The serial killer stalking
Los Angeles will soon be served his just deserts. But that doesn’t mean Minx
Tobin is out of danger. First, there’s a crank caller. Then her tire is
slashed. Quite possibly, her throat is next. But if the throat-slashing
murderer is out of the picture, then who has it in for Minx?
Gabe Harris works two
full-time jobs. First is solving murders as homicide lieutenant for LAPD.
Second is trying to keep his new girlfriend, Minx, out of danger. But this
time, she isn’t to blame for her predicament. Gabe’s job is proving hazardous
to her health.
Scene Set-Up:
Homicide Lieutenant Gabe
Harris, protective of his new love, Minx, is annoyed that she doesn’t take his
recommended advice concerning her safety.
Excerpt:
Gabe took the now-empty seat and folded his hands in
front of him. “Am I to infer then that your promises are always meaningless,
Minx?”
Her deep brown eyes reflected pain. “No, of course
not. You’re making too much out of this, anyway. After you left my place this
morning, the doctor’s office called. I have his blessing to return to work
providing I shorten my day and take it slow.”
That she listened to her doctor and not him steamed
him further. “I explained about the Thursday killer, Minx. We don’t have
anything on this monster except that, in all probability, you’re a target.”
“I was going stir-crazy, Gabe. And there are lots of
single ladies whose last name starts with the letters ‘To.’”
“Hell, woman!” He dug his fingers into his hair.
“You’re going to give me more grey hair, you know that?”
Since he’d gone prematurely light and dark grey
nearly fifteen years ago, his statement was more for effect than an actual prediction.
Maybe she realized that because she didn’t seem to
take offense. Instead, she trailed her fingertips over the knuckles on his hand
and then sensuously moved up his forearm. “Sounds like you’ve had a long, hard
day. C’mon, let’s go get changed. I’m dying for a shower.”
She also ran the tip of her tongue over her lips in a
way that made him salivate.
“I’ll wash your back, Gabe.”
While the day had indeed been difficult, now it was
hard as well. He grabbed her hand and sandwiched it between his own. “Only if I
can wash yours, too.”
Her slow smile caused him to sizzle. “Naturally,
Lieutenant. I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
His annoyance--which was
really worry in disguise--suddenly vanished. In its place, sensations of sight,
sounds, scents, tastes, and touches from the past week seared his memory.
Making love to Minx was a multiplex experience; he savored every waking minute.
