Some Like it in Handcuffs
Christine Warner
Sunny Kennedy is a fledgling private investigator and the
only girl in a family of protective male detectives. She’s out to prove
testosterone isn’t the main qualification required to solve a cold case. The
only things standing in her way are a sexy detective and a killer who will stop
at nothing to keep a secret.
Judson Blackwolf, a seasoned homicide detective, thinks
women in law enforcement should work behind the scenes. The prospect of working
with his Captain’s sexy daughter doesn’t thrill him.
But when their investigation takes a dangerous turn, they
realize their feelings for each other, tangled in a web from the past, might
not be the only thing to keep them apart.
Excerpt:
“This isn’t how I wanted it between
us.” Judson grabbed the neckline of her
sweater, dragging her body to meet his with a solid thump. Sunny licked her lips in answer to the
question in his eyes. He lowered his
head to move his mouth over hers.
Sunny
closed her eyes, a small whimper escaping her lips. She didn’t want it like this either, but that
wasn’t possible. Unable to resist her
attraction she accepted it wasn’t an affair, or a long distance.
romance she craved, but for him to
love her back. It was all or nothing for
her. Her heart sank. She accepted this as their goodbye kiss.
With no thought to what was
happening upstairs, Sunny rose up on her toes demanding more. Her lips pulsated against Judson’s. When his hand trembled against her cheek in a
soft caress she lost touch with reality.
“Judson.” Sunny’s weakened body
drifted farther into Judson’s as his fingers glided down her arms, pulling them
to her sides where their fingers intertwined.
He forced them behind her before his tongue thrust into her mouth.
Their bodies molded together, she
heard her own heartbeat and his as well when he curved his fingers around her
rear and squeezed.
That’s when the click of the
handcuffs against her wrist connected her to the handle of the locked cupboard.
“What the hell…Judson?” She looked up at him, her knees shook, her
body still inflamed with fever.
“Like I was saying, you wait here
and I’ll go upstairs to check it out.
Backup’s already been called, so you’re safe until your brothers
arrive.” Judson winked before walking
toward the steps to the third level.
Once he reached them he turned toward her and smiled. “Gotcha,” he whispered with his notorious
grin.
This book looks like a winner.
