âHomicide.â
Title: Her Thin Blue Lifeline
Series: Indigo Knights MC Book I
Author: A.J. Downey
Genre: MC Romance
Cover designed by: Dar Albert from Wicked Smart Designs
Chrissy Franco has every reason to take one hell of a victory lap around the courtroom. Sheâs just defended her client to the best of her ability and whatâs more? Her client was actually innocent. Oh, sheâd killed her husband, baseball legend Skip Maguire, alright; but heâd been about to hit a homerun with Mirandaâs head.
His rabid fan base doesnât agree with the verdict, and theyâve set their sights on Chrissy as the one to blame. One of them is about to set into motion a dangerous game when he publishes poor Chrissyâs address onlineâ¦
Enter Tony McCormick, a detective with the right kind of attitude and Chrissyâs sort of ex-boyfriend. When heâs called to Chrissyâs apartment, heâs prepared for the worst. Heâs a homicide detective after all. When he arrives, it seems that someone might have forgotten to check to see if Chrissy was still alive⦠now itâs everything he can do to find the man who did this and the other behind it all before itâs really too late.
âHomicide.â
âYeah, Tony, got a couple of fresh ones at two-two-one-six, east 53rd; apartment two-oh-six. Youâre up.â
I finished scribbling the address heâd given me on a legal pad in front of me saying, âI think this damn city has had enough with the baseball references, Captain.â
âYeah, whatever, get your ass over there, this city has had enough with the homicides lately, too.â
âYou ainât lying; Iâm on it.â
I tossed the receiver back onto its cradle with a clatter. I sat up from where Iâd been hunched over my desk and rubbed the back of my neck, giving myself at least enough time to indulge in a stretch before getting up. I picked up the pad of paper, my eyes roving over the address as it tickled the back of my brain.
I knew it, but couldnât place it. Something about all those twos and sixes was just niggling at me in the worst way but I figured Iâd see it soon enough. I needed to get over there before the bodies got cold. Before the medical examiner got any kind of time with them. It helped to see the scene before anything was touched or moved.
I got up and hauled ass, heading down to the garage and my assigned cruiser. It was a short drive from the 12th precinct to the apartmentâs address and there was plenty of parking in among the black and whites with their party lights that were already there. Hell, the coronerâs van wasnât even here yet. Just a couple of uniformed units. Lucky me. I double parked and then it clicked⦠this was Chrissyâs place. She was a lawyer, a defense attorney that Iâd taken out a couple of times. We were like ships passing in the night schedule wise, and after the fourth interrupted date, we had pretty much come to the conclusion that it was nice, but it wasnât going to happen.
Thatâd been over three years ago, pushing four; Iâd always sort of wondered if our paths would cross again. I never imagined it might be on a homicide call in her building, that is, if she still even lived here. Who was I kidding? I knew, deep in my gut from the minute Iâd pulled up it was the feisty lawyerâs apartment I was headed to.
âWell you can definitely say there were signs of forced entry, huh detective?â a uniform, Johns by the nametag on his chest, said as I stepped carefully over the shattered debris thatâd been Chrissy Francoâs doorframe and lock.
âJesus Christ,â I muttered taking in the raw scene.
There was a blonde, draped back over the arm of the couch, a movie-perfect shot through her fuckinâ forehead, right between the eyes. I walked carefully up to the second body and leaned down over my knees.
âYeah, thatâs Chrissy Franco, alright,â I said, heart heavy in the center of my chest. Regret weighed me down like a thousand pound boulder in the center of my chest. She was beautiful, even like this, body cooling on the floor. If ever there had been one thatâd got away, it was Chrissy. Iâd thought about her a lot in the intervening years since Iâd last seen her. Iâd even caught myself lingering in the corridors of the courthouse on the occasions Iâd had to be there. Hoping to run into her, hoping to rekindle things; that she might happen to be single, maybe willing to give it a shot again⦠This was a-fucking-shame, and I was gutted that it had to be me to catch the call.
Damnit.
I pulled on a pair of gloves and went to trace some of her long dark hair away from the side of her face so I could get a better look at her when she gasped.
I nearly shot through the fuckinâ roof.
âCall a bus!â I screamed and knelt down amid the broken glass and spilled wine, the sweet smell of alcohol and coppery tang of blood singeing my nose even as hope filled me up like a helium goddamn balloon.
âH-he-help me,â she stammered out and I took her hand.
âAmbulance is on the way, just hang on, baby.â
âTony?â
âYeah, yeah, you remember me?â
âIt hurts!â her tone was mournful, pain filled, and I deflated a little on the inside, but I wasnât willing to show it. Confidence, surety, thatâs what she needed right now.
Shit. Both of those things were the last things I was feeling right now. I wasnât used to live victims, especially not ones Iâd had the occasional date with. I couldnât fucking help her except to wait for paramedics and I hated it. I glared at the uniform who was spewing panicked words into the mic at his shoulder.
âDidnât you check to see if she was a-fuckinâ-live!?â I demanded, needing to direct my helpless anger somewhere.
âI mean, who gives a shit, man? I didnât know! Just look at her!â he shouted and I swore I was gonna have a quiet conversation with him and his CO later, whether or not she lived or died. That shit wasnât right. You didnât get to pick the vic. I strapped down my incendiary rage at the comment and stroked her hand, giving my attention to the wounded woman on the floor, the person that needed it most.
âHang on, Chrissy, weâre gonna get you some help.â She squeezed my hand and I could swear my heart squeezed down with it, a tight ball of sympathy for her pain.
Nobody deserved this shit. To have someone break down your door; shoot you up, and for what? I thought about it. About the uproar over the Maguire case, it was the likeliest conclusion based on what I knew so far⦠Because you did your job?
âJust hang on for me, baby. Stay with meâ¦â
Rattled didnât even begin to cover how I felt about this one.

Sixty country days and sixty country nights—that’s all I wanted. I needed to get away from the city, away from the hot mess that had become my life. When I stumbled upon my childhood home on RentBnB.com, I took it as a sign, cleaned out my life savings, and hightailed it to the only place that ever meant something to me, a place I hadn’t seen since a lifetime ago. Only when I arrived to the familiar South Dakotan farmhouse, I was met by a brooding, we-don’t-take-kindly-to-strangers cowboy by the name of River McCray, who insisted this was his house and most definitely not a rental property. I’d been internet scammed. And that cocky, smart-mouthed stranger had the nerve to make me a humiliating offer: I could stay in his house for the next two months rent-free, but I had to work for him. He’d be my boss. And my roommate. With no money and nowhere else to go, I agreed. But nothing could have prepared me for the tension, the attraction, and the bombshell revelation that changed … everything.

Get a sneak peek below and preorder your copy today!About HONORA high school reunion is about to get down and dirty and a whole lot more complicated in this new romantic suspense from USA Today Bestselling Author Kennedy Layne. Derek Spencer hadn't even bothered to RSVP to his Catfish Creek's high school reunion. He'd been too busy fighting a war in Afghanistan in his capacity as a Marine and wouldn't even be in the States during the event. Unfortunately, one emergency phone call from his mother changed everything. Tessa Daniels had been voted most likely to do everything back in high school. She somehow didn't think that included acquiring her very own stalker at the relatively young age of twenty-eight. It had stopped being simply annoying after someone broke into her house, invading her privacy. Now, she was actually in fear for her life. Derek's mother feels terrible that her son has spent almost every waking hour at the hospital, watching over his recovering father. She sets out--and succeeds--in arranging for Derek and Tessa to attend their high school reunion together. Neither one of them expected sparks to fly or memories of long-lost crushes to emerge, but they are not only faced with their newfound passion...they must also confront the person trying to extinguish their chance to rekindle the flames of past desires.

He’d known earlier this evening that she was different from the rest. He’d reminded himself over and over that he had one more year before he had to make another decision that would affect the next four years of his life. He’d told himself that he would see to it that she was safe in her home, maybe even put a call in to the police about having them do patrol sweeps through the area. He couldn’t leave her unprotected, but he also had a duty to protect himself from damaging his heart. Now? Tessa’s supple curves against his body and her lips inches from his made leaving difficult. Hell, she made it all but impossible. Derek wrapped an arm around her waist and eased her toward him, not stopping until the only thing that separated them were the clothes on their bodies. He captured her lips, unable to get enough of her. The sweet taste of sugar and cream made him think that the addictive taste had nothing to do with her tea and everything to do with the fact that she was a hypnotic aphrodisiac. He no longer cared what tomorrow would bring. They were living in the moment. Tessa used his body as leverage as she raised herself higher onto her tiptoes to deepen their kiss. She didn’t have to worry, because he didn’t intend on stopping anytime soon. He easily hoisted her up so that her long legs were wrapped around his waist, already accepting that they weren’t going to make it to her bedroom…at least for the first round. Derek sidestepped the coffee table until they both toppled onto the couch. He pulled his lips from hers so that he could see for himself that she understood the ground rules that she’d already put into place. He ignored the fact that he was repeating her words for his sake only. “For tonight then.” “Agreed,” Tessa said breathlessly, already reaching for the unfastened bowtie hanging around his neck. She gradually slid the material out from under his lapel, never once breaking eye contact. “So make it your best effort, Derek.” Tessa’s challenge was a reckless streak of provocation that immediately raised the heat level. He couldn’t resist leaning down and running his tongue across her lower lip, only to then nip it with his teeth. She still had her legs wrapped around him with apparently no intention of letting him go. He had other plans though. He’d become rigid as a board the moment she’d whispered the word stay. Derek leaned up and all but forced her to relax her hold on him. She was taking in every move he made. She’d already removed his bowtie, so unfastening the rest of the buttons on his shirt was done with ease. Everything she felt was displayed across her beautiful features and he had to question on whether the desire burning within those baby blues of hers could literally light a fire in something other than his soul.Find out more about the other four books in the BAD BOY HOMECOMING series on the website here!✦ DROPOUT by Carrie Ann Ryan ✦ TROUBLE by Avery Flynn ✦ PROM QUEEN by Katee Robert ✦ ROCK STAR by Stacey KennedyAbout Kennedy LayneKennedy Layne is a USA Today bestselling author.

Get a sneak peek below and preorder your copy today!About PROM QUEENA high school reunion is about to get down and dirty and a whole lot more complicated in this new erotic romance from NYT Bestselling Author Katee Robert. Jake Davis had it all in high school—a scholarship to his college of choice, a promising football career, and the gorgeous prom queen for a girlfriend. And then he lost it all when he was injured right after graduation. Ten years later, he’s mostly made his peace with that, and now runs a company that provides women with dates for special events. Imagine his surprise when he discovers that the ex who left him in the dust needs a fake boyfriend for their high school reunion… Jessica Jackson used to be the mean girl to end all mean girls. But life didn’t turn out like she’d thought it would, and now she’s twenty-eight, single, and works as an insurance agent to A-listers instead of being the A-lister like she’d always dreamed. She can’t go back to her home town and admit just how thoroughly she’s failed, so she lets her friends set her up with a fake date for the reunion. The second Jessica realizes that her fake date is Jake, she tries to call the whole thing off. The problem is the chemistry between them is even hotter now than it was when they were teenagers. Against her better judgment she lets herself get drawn into Jake’s arms again—and into his bed. But time doesn’t heal all wounds—sometimes, it actually makes them worse—and if Jessica and Jake can’t learn to forgive each other, their second chance might not last the weekend.

After getting assurances that they didn’t have preferences about the gender of their masseuse, the woman—Sarah—left, closing the door softly behind her. It was only then that Jessica realized the problem. “I’m not stripping in front of you.” Jake shot her a look. “I’ve seen every inch of you.” “It’s different when we’re having sex.” He had been so distracted by the whole having sex thing, he hadn’t been likely to look at her imperfections. They might have been few when she was a teenager, but they were legion now. Five years ago, she’d given up on perfection. Being skinny and perfectly put together every second of every day hadn’t saved her from being fired. It hadn’t stopped her jerk boyfriend from dumping her at dinner in front of an entire crowd of people. And it hadn’t made a damn bit of difference when she couldn’t make rent and was evicted. So she stopped it a little bit at a time. Going brunette was the hardest—and biggest step—but after that it was as if she’d flipped a switch in her head. She’d leave the house without makeup, or eat a second slice of pizza. Despite her mama’s dire warnings, the world didn’t end. She still worked out, but she did it because it made her happy and decreased her stress, not because she wanted to be a size four. And she ate now—mostly healthy, sure, but she’d stopped denying herself little indulgences. Between those two things and the fact she was staring thirty in the face, her body was a lot softer than it used to be. Her stomach was soft instead of taut, and… What am I doing? Sometime in the last five seconds, her internal voice had turned into her mama’s. She pressed her hands to either side of her head. Stop it right this instant. Jessica straightened and dropped her arms. Jake looked like he was going to ask her what the hell was going on, but she didn’t give him the chance. She yanked her zipper down nearly hard enough to rip the fabric. It wasn’t a smooth move to shimmy out of the dress, but she managed. She didn’t meet his gaze as she dipped her thumbs into her Spanx, silently daring him to say a single freaking word. And then she was naked and there was nowhere left to look. Jake stared at her body like he was in a desert and had just set eyes on an oasis. He took a step toward her, but she moved to put the table between them. “Massage.” “Screw the massage.” A knock on the door interrupted them. “Just a minute,” Jake’s voice was so rough, his words were nearly indecipherable. Warmth flowed through her at the realization that she was causing this reaction. She wasn’t nearly as aloof as she wanted to be, because she stared as he pulled his shirt over his head and stripped out of his jeans. Jake was… Jake was magnificent. He’d always had a great body, but the body she’d known so well was the body of a boy. This Jake was a man, through and through. His muscles roped along his frame, no tan lines to be seen. The only break in the color were the scars on his shoulder and arm. A smattering of dark hair created a triangle designed to draw her gaze south, ever south, to where his cock was standing at attention. She pressed her thighs together, but there was no hiding her reaction any more than he could hide his. Her breasts felt larger and her nipples pebbled under his gaze. “Jake—” “Massage.” He pointed at her table and then waited for her to obey before he carefully laid face down on the other. “This was the worst fucking idea I’ve ever had.” Jessica was inclined to agree. All of her earlier pep talks about keeping her hands off him went up in smoke. They should have just rented a hotel room far enough out of town that no one would care that they didn’t stay the night. They could have lost themselves in each other’s bodies for hours.Find out more about the other four books in the BAD BOY HOMECOMING series on the website here!✦ DROPOUT by Carrie Ann Ryan ✦ TROUBLE by Avery Flynn ✦ HONOR by Kennedy Layne ✦ ROCK STAR by Stacey KennedyAbout Katee RobertNew York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Katee Robert learned to tell her stories at her grandpa’s knee.

Brains and a badass attitude. That’s all troublemaker Leah Camacho took with her when she left Catfish Creek. She’d promised herself she’d never go back, but when the invite to her tenth high school reunion arrived along with the chance to show everyone who doubted her what a success she’s made of herself, she couldn’t resist. However, when she discovers a 15-carat, stolen diamond in her rental car’s glove box, there’s only one man she can turn to for help—the same sexy, stubborn domineering man who’d smashed her heart all those years ago. Sheriff Drew Jackson knew a long time ago that Leah Camacho was nothing but trouble and has sworn to never get caught up in her again—no matter how damn sexy she is or how badly he’d failed to forget her. But, when the woman who test drove his heart right into a concrete wall rolls into Catfish Creek with some serious bad guys on her tail, it’s up to him to keep her safe—even if that means guarding her hot bod 24/7 without giving into temptation or losing his mind.

Water droplets clung to his chest and Leah watched, unable to look away, as one drop made the downward trek across his hard abs to disappear behind the towel. It was enough to make her brain short out. "What in the hell was that?" Drew asked, stalking toward her. She swallowed past the sand pit in her mouth and—out of a sense of primal survival desperation—moved so the small, round kitchen table was between them. It wasn't that she was afraid of him. More like she was afraid of what she wanted to do when she was near him—every dirty thing she could possibly imagine. "I'm moving things ahead." He glanced down at the table and back up at her with a knowing smirk. "And how were you doing that?" Her cheeks burned. Damn it. Why was it always like this with him? Taking a deep breath, she clicked together her bad attitude, using it as a shield against his cocky charms. "I called in a favor to get more information about the Rhinestone Cowboys." He spread his legs wide and crossed his arms over his broad chest. "You don't need to know more." His stance couldn't have screamed "I strong man, you weak woman" any more if he tried. This wasn't how she worked. She wasn't about to entrust her life to some random FBI agents who were more concerned with catching the man in charge rather than keeping her safe. And Drew? She might be physically safe with him, but emotionally was a whole other story. "I'm not going to sit around Catfish Creek and wait for those two goons to make their move." "That's the stupid plan the Feds came up with and you agreed to." He shoved his hand through his wet hair, making it stand up as he rounded the table to her side. Her pulse picked up as he neared and desire warm and slick sent a shiver of anticipation through her body. She couldn't control her body's reaction to him and it pissed her off as much as it turned her on. He really was the one man she'd never been able to stop herself from wanting, which is exactly why she had to fight against it so hard. "I'm not going to sit back and wait for the other shoe to drop. That's not the way I roll." "No, you just roll over everything in your path without any thought about the consequences." "All the more reason why I can't wait for the Feds to do their job." Frustration over the situation and her body's reaction to the half naked man in front of her, she pushed past him, her only goal being to get out of the kitchen before she did something she'd regret, "I'm going to get ready. Until I know my next move I have to act like everything's normal. That means picking up my high school reunion welcome packet and saying hi to all the bitches who think I slept my way through the entire varsity football roster and the assholes who started that rumor in the first place." "If that's the way you feel about coming to the reunion then why are you even here?" he asked.
