On The Force, Brothers in Blue Book 2 is now available for pre-order. The official release date is October 29th.
Yay!
In the interest of time, here's a peek at what On The Force is all about.
Top notch CFO Sydney Raines is devastated when her coveted job working for a high profile conglomerate is yanked out from under her. Determined to restore her mangled reputation, she finds her second chance when the owner of an upscale art gallery hires her as his personal assistant.
Straight arrow cop Vince Miller is assigned to crack an international art theft ring. Working undercover, he never counted on meeting Sydney Raines, let alone falling in love with her. Then an unexpected twist in the case reveals the identity of a serial killer, along with the shattering realization that Sydney could be the psycho's next victim.
And, some of what to expect from the story.
“It’s Miller from Detroit…I’m pretty sure I know who
your Jane Doe victim is.” He didn’t give his colleague any time to comment.
“I’m going to call her next of kin. We’ll be over your way in a couple of
hours.”
****
Vince pressed
his foot down harder on the gas pedal as he fought to block out everything but
the highway in front of him. A simple survival tactic as blind faith propelled
him on. If he let his mind go where it wanted, all thoughts of Sydney would be
front and center. He didn’t want to deal with that much pain just now. To focus
on the road was his best option. Straight, flat, predictable.
Until they got
to the turn off to the hospital, more specifically, the morgue.
Terror and
sadness, rage and impotence stabbed at him from all directions, tearing him up
and threatening to destroy his heart.
Beside him, Andy
Raines wasn’t faring much better. “It’s not supposed to be like this.” He blew
his nose then used the same handkerchief to wipe the tears from red rimmed eyes.
“It’s a hazy
connection at best, but right now it’s the only connection we’ve got.” Vince
didn’t share the details of the other victims. Not yet anyway. “I just hope to
hell I’m wrong.”
“Children bury
their parents. Not the other way around.” He coughed into one elbow then dabbed
at his eyes again.
Vince kept his lips
tight and jaw clenched. The right thing to do was respond. Offer some words of…what?
Wisdom? Sympathy? Commiseration? Pity he had nothing to give as they traveled
to possibly identify a Jane Doe dead body as someone they each loved more than
life.
