ELLIOTT REDEEMED Excerpt
Copyright © 2017 Scarlett Cole
As she turned, Elliott appeared in front of her.
“I was sitting down here,” he said roughly, “because knowing you were in that bathtub only a floor away was fucking killing me.”
She hadn’t heard him come home, but he’d obviously been there a while, as he wore a pair of shorts that rode low on his hips and nothing else. Maybe it was the alcohol making her bolder, but she wanted to run her fingers down the lines of muscle that led down into his shorts. “Elliott,” she whispered, taking a step toward him. She placed her hand over his heart, a heart she knew was capable of good things. His skin was warm, his muscles solid, and she took comfort from the fact he was here with her and that she wasn’t alone. Tentatively, she stroked her hand down his chest, but Elliott placed his hand over hers and studied her intently. His eyes, heavy lidded, telling her that he wanted her as much as she did him.
What was he waiting for? It had all made sense to stand her ground, to not get involved. But now, feeling as she did in her sexy new nightgown after years of feeling unwanted, none of it was relevant. She stepped up onto her toes and pressed her lips to his.
Elliott groaned against her and ran his tongue along the seam of her lips, and she opened for him immediately. He nudged the robe off her shoulders, and it slithered to the floor. Softly, he nuzzled his way along her jaw, and kissed her as he had the previous evening along the side of her neck, leaving her knees weak.
Kendalee slipped her fingers into his hair, holding him close. Her heart beat so furiously that she was certain Elliott could hear it. Finally. She’d get to experience what it was to let go and make love with someone who wanted her as she was.
He gripped the silk of her nightdress, pulling it tight around her hips, then let go and slid his hands down her thighs until he reached the hem of the gown. Rough fingertips danced along her skin. In two steps, he backed her up against the counter, then lifted her as if she weighed nothing, making her gasp as the cool marble met her heated skin.
The sensations were impossible to absorb. From the way his stubble tickled her cheek as he kissed her again to the way his calloused hands gripped her knees and pressed them open. As the nightdress rose up her thighs, Elliott stared at the space between them. She was naked beneath the slip of silk, and for a moment, she panicked, trying to recall just how many weeks ago it had been since she’d had the privacy to shave her bikini line.
“Fuck.” Elliott groaned as his hands slid higher, his thumbs almost touching her most intimate places. “We can’t,” he then said and stepped away.
About Scarlett Cole
The tattoo across my right hip says it all really. A Life Less Ordinary. Inked by the amazingly talented Luke Wessman at the Wooster Street Social Club (a.k.a. New York Ink). Why is it important? Well, it sums up my view on life. That we should all aspire to live a life that is less boring, less predictable. Be bold, and do something amazing. I’ve made some crazy choices. I’ve been a car maker, a consultant, and even a senior executive at a large retailer running strategy. Born in England, spent time in the U.S. and Japan, before ending up in Canada were I met my own, personal hero – all six and a half feet of him. Both of us are scorpios! Yeah, I know! Should have checked the astrological signs earlier, but somehow it works for us. We have two amazing kids, who I either could never part with or could easily be convinced to sell on e-bay.
I’ve wanted to be a writer for a really long time. Check through my office cupboards or my computer and you’ll find half written stories and character descriptions everywhere. Now I'm getting the chance to follow that dream.

A cup a day won’t kill you, but a few
might.
Their
first case as private investigators have Sean, Sara, and Jimmy neck-deep in
coffee beans trying to find a killer. With their client certain that her mother
was poisoned through her coffee of the month club, it has them setting out to Williamsburg,
Virginia. But instead of approaching matters from the traditional standpoint,
Sean and Sara brew a robust plot and stir Jimmy into the blend, all to get
close to their top suspect and grind out the truth.
Going
undercover at Tasty Beans, the coffee company, the three of them work to expose
the culprit before anyone else dies.
What to expect from the McKinley Mysteries:
Romance. Humor. Murder. Are you looking for a murder
mystery without all the graphic violence and foul language? Something that you
can enjoy in an afternoon and walk away feeling good about afterward? How about
a dash of humor and romance? If so, meet former detectives Sean and Sara
McKinley. When a billionaire leaves them all his money, they no longer have to
work, but they find themselves sticking to what they’re good at—solving
murders. Undercover, off the books, and around the world, they’ll get to the
bottom of things…and romance it up along the way.
This is
the perfect book series for fans of Hart to Hart, Castle, Colombo, Monk, Rockford
Files, Psych, and Magnum PI.
Read in
any order or follow the series from the beginning.
Excerpt from chapter 4 of Coffee
is Murder (McKinley Mysteries)
BLOND AND DETERMINED
SEAN AND SARA TOOK THE file to the
meeting room, which had a glass table and seating for six. The space had more
sleek lines and chrome. A large screen was on one wall—the modern-day solution
to a marker board. Adam’s enthusiasm about the technology of the interactive
whiteboard was contagious and had Sean parting with the money.
Every time Sean
entered the room, though, he was glad that he had made the investment. Adam’s
praise was well-deserving. The
board served a decorative purpose and was practical. Unlike
the traditional predecessor, with this electronic one, it was possible to save
any notes or doodles as images and PDFs.
Sean handed Sara the file. She was a
faster reader, so, once she finished reading a sheet, she would pass it on to
him and keep
going. They still had more to read when two shadows graced the doorway.
It was Helen and a pretty blonde,
who, Sean assumed, must be their prospective client, Sophie Hogan. He had read
enough of the preliminary. Between the application and what Helen had told him,
he was aware Sophie worked as a nurse in a retirement home. It was her mother,
Beverly Sparks, who’d passed away. She was sixty-nine at the time of her death.
“Sean, Sara, this is Sophie Hogan.” Helen conducted the formal
introductions as she guided the woman farther into the room.
“Hello. Nice to meet you both. Thank you for agreeing to take my case.”
Sophie shook Sean’s hand.
He didn’t have the
heart to correct her assumption. This meeting was a preliminary interview. She
had made it past Helen, and now he and Sara had to decide if they’d accept the
case, or if there even was one to take on.
Sophie clasped Sara’s hand in
greeting now. “You are beautiful.”
“Thank you. So are you.”
Sean never tired of people saying
that to his wife. She was attractive both inside and outside and had a quality
that drew people. Jealousy periodically slipped in when it involved men, but he
was working to root out the undesirable quality.
Sophie’s head dipped and she pulled out a chair, but
hesitated. “I guess I shouldn’t assume. Is it all right if I sit here?”
“Of course.” Sara spoke gently and Sean admired, again, his wife’s
ability to put people at ease.
Sophie was positioned across from
them so it worked out ideally. Eye contact and being able to read a person’s body
language was a big factor in conversation. Often, more was said through energy
and movement than was communicated through words.
“I’m going to excuse myself, if that will be all.” Helen waved a hand,
pointing toward the door.
“That will be. Thank you, Helen,” Sean said.
She closed the door behind her, and
Sean settled his gaze on Sophie. She was thirty-two, according to the file, but
she could have passed for mid-twenties. Her eyes were hazel and her hair was
bottle-blond with dark lowlights. She wore it down at the back with the sides
pulled up and clipped into a barrette. As a generalization, women freed their
face of wandering strands when they were focused. And, despite her timorous
mannerisms, Sean saw a person who was likely confident in her own right. He
figured that consulting with private investigators ventured outside of most
people’s comfort zones.
The business had opened its doors a month ago and had come together
rather quickly—money equaled power, and, when the contractors found out it was
multi-billionaire Sean McKinley requesting their services, they were more than
efficient. A job that might have stretched out for months if they were working
for someone else was condensed to the timespan of thirty days.
Three months ago, they had bought the property. Two months ago, they had
hired the contractor. And one month ago, they had officially opened the doors.
With the applications coming in from the moment they’d purchased the property,
they were ready to start as soon as they found a case that matched their
criteria.
“Would you like a cup of coffee or a glass of water?” Sara asked her.
Sophie shook her head. “Your assistant
did ask me, but I’m good. I’m off coffee right now.”
“All right, well, we’ve read a good portion of your file and
application, but it’s much better to hear things straight from the person.
First of all, you have our sympathies for your loss,” Sean said.
Sophie’s lips quivered and she nodded.
“You don’t believe it was related to her age.”
She slid her bottom lip through her
teeth. “Not at all. My mother was in good physical shape. She might not have
been very active, but she was sixty-nine. Still, considering her age and all
she had gone through in life, she had many more years left.” Her voice
fractured on the last sentence.
“You’re saying that she was murdered?” Sara’s tone was soft.
“That’s exactly what I’m saying.”
