Erin
Grady is used to taking care of people. That’s why she’s thrilled
to finally realize her dream of opening a clinic…and why she’s
willing to overlook where the money came from—until a determined
prosecutor comes sniffing around.
Will Patton is desperate to leave the small fogbound town of Lost Coast Harbor and build a real career for himself. But to do that, he’ll need to expose the dirty police chief—and betray the woman who makes him wonder if he’s leaving town too soon.
But
the corruption in Lost Coast Harbor runs deep and wide—and exposing
the truth will require Erin and Will to expose their hearts…no
matter the risk.
Read an Excerpt
Will
moved closer and reached past her, setting his wine next to hers and
the nearness took her breath away. She raised her chin to look him in
the eye to protest his bullying, but found herself speechless again,
her heart pounding and unable to pull her gaze from his eyes, hooded
with need.
God,
kiss me. Again. And again.
He
reached up and slipped a hand behind her neck, his fingers stroking
the soft skin on her nape. Each brush fired her nerves, a heat that
spread throughout her body.
This was
crazy. She wasn’t into one-night stands, or hookups, or even casual
flings. But her last relationship had ended a couple years earlier.
She was due, damn it. She was a grown woman and could decide to have
casual sex if she wanted to. Just because that wasn’t her usual
style, didn’t mean it was necessarily a bad idea. She was just too
busy, and worked too many nights. And she knew too much about any
potential partner, the hazard of living in a small town for most of
one’s life.
Will’s
lips brushed across hers and his hand tightened on her neck and any
moral objection she might have had flew out the window. Her heart
pounded as the kiss grew deeper, more demanding. She inhaled the
faint hint of his scent and the rough friction from the slight scruff
on his face overwhelmed her. She ran a hand up his hard chest,
flattening her palm to feel as much of him as possible.
“Damn.”
His
gruff whisper didn’t make sense, but the sound made her shiver.
Before she could respond, he kissed her again. Her arms were around
his neck, pulling him closer. It wasn’t enough.
Author Bio and Links:
Like so
many good ideas, Lost Coast Harbor was inspired by a few rounds of
margaritas. One sunny afternoon, Lily Danes and Eve Kincaid went to a
Mexican restaurant for snacks and tequila and left with the idea for
a new series. Inspired by their love of noir movies and 1940s crime
novels, they imagined a gritty small town full of crime and
corruption, where intrigue and mystery can lead to love and passion.
Eve
Kincaid is a lapsed lawyer who decided that fictional crime was more
fun than the real deal. When she’s not writing about mysterious
women and the dangerous and sexy men who love them, she’s probably
shopping for books, lipstick, or imported cheeses to complement a
nice California pinot noir.
You can
keep up with Eve’s new releases by signing up for her reader
newsletter. She’d love to hear from you. Just don’t be creepy
about it.
Lily Danes used to sneak Harlequin Presents out of the library between her Sweet Valley High books. Before she was caught, she developed a lifelong appreciation for romance novels. After she was caught, she was forced to have an awkward conversation with her parents about the dirty bits.
She has a degree in English Literature from the University of Washington and will make fun of people who ask what you can do with an English degree, since the answer is obviously “wear pajamas all day.”
Lily writes the odd books in the Lost Coast Harbor series. The books with odd numbers, that is. Whether the books themselves are odd is really up to the reader. The lovely Eve Kincaid handles the even books. Lily also writes urban fantasy as Mia Marshall, though those books have a lot less kissing.
These days, she lives in the Sierra Nevadas, where she gardens, knits, herds cats, and plans DIY projects she’s too lazy to complete. http://www.lilydanes.com/
