Blurb:
Minx’s involvement with an
unhappy newlywed turns deadly... for the bride and for Minx.
DIVORCE... L.A. STYLE
Minx Tobin’s latest client,
Magda Boswell, complains that her new husband wants her dead. But maybe it’s the old husband Magda should
worry about. Or the first husband’s new
wife. Then again, Magda’s longstanding
boyfriend isn’t too devoted, either.
Minx gets mixed up in convoluted marital problems that just might end up
in death... for her.
Homicide lieutenant Gabe
Harris can’t believe his good luck. Not
only does he win $20,000 but more important, he persuades Minx to take a chance
on him. But when Minx gets involved in
another murder case, he finds the odds for her survival are not in her favor.
Scene Set-Up:
Minx unexpectedly runs into
Homicide Lieutenant Gabe Harris while visiting Las Vegas. Their mutual
attraction goes up a notch!
Excerpt:
Gabe pushed his chair away
from the table, then stood. “I’ve got an early start tomorrow, so I’d better
get going. I’ll walk you to your hotel room, Minx.”
“Oh.” Drat, had her
disappointment sounded in her voice?
He helped her up from her
chair. “When are you leaving Vegas?”
“Sadie and I drive back
sometime tomorrow afternoon. What about you?”
“I fly out tomorrow night.”
When they entered the hotel,
the cool air-conditioning bit at her. He must’ve noticed her shudder for he
placed his arm around her nearly bare shoulders.
She sank back against him,
grateful for his warmth and for the solid feel of him.
They both were quiet as they
rode up to the seventh floor in the Century elevators.
All too soon they stood by
her hotel room. Minx eyed the door and gulped down her nervousness. Should she
invite him inside? What if Sadie was already in bed?
Minx glanced up at him with
her invitation pasted on her lips.
He stretched his arm out to
the doorframe, then leaned in close to her. “I’ll say good-night now, Minx,
with one stipulation.” He was so close, they shared the same air.
“Stipulation?” she repeated.
Her voice sounded husky to her ears.
“Mmm.” He trailed his lips
over the shell of her ear.
Whoa. She almost died from
the sheer pleasure of it.
“Yeah, and the stipulation
is that you’ll go out with me as soon as possible.” He nibbled his way down the
length of her neck. “Tomorrow’s out, but what about Monday night?”
Her knees buckled and her
heart pounded. It took all her willpower to focus on the physical act of
speaking.
“Um, Mon-Monday’s fine.”
“Good. I’ll call you.” Gabe
brushed his lips against hers, then pulled away. “Now don’t forget.”
As if she could!
He turned around, walked
down the corridor and into the waiting open elevator. Only when the elevator
doors swished closed, did Minx move from her position.
Good God, that man was sex
personified. Wiping sudden perspiration from her forehead, she slipped her card
key into the door and stumbled into her room.
