I’m an Italian-Texan
woman in a family full of cops. I’m passionate and shoot before I
think. You only f*ck with me if you’re stupid.
Photograph cheating
spouses. Hand over the evidence. Cash my check.
That was my plan when I
returned home to Holly Woods, Texas, and became a private
investigator.
Finding the dead body
in my dumpster? Yeah… Given the choice, I think I would have opted
out of that little discovery, especially since all three of my
brothers are cops. And my Italian grandmother is sure the reason I’m
single is because of my job.
Of course, my
connection to the victim is entirely coincidental. Until I’m hired
by her husband to investigate her murder and shoved bang-smack into
the path of Detective Drake Nash.
My nemesis, a
persistent pain in my ass, and one hell of a sexy son of a bitch.
Shame he still holds a
grudge from that time I shot him in the foot twelve years ago, or we
could have something. In another life.
So now all I have to do
is avoid my nonna’s blind dates, try not to blackmail my brothers
into giving me confidential police files, and absolutely do not point
my gun at Drake Nash. Or kiss him. Or jump his bones.
All while I hunt down
the killer.
Sounds totally
simple—until a second body proves that sometimes things that start
as coincidences don’t always end up that way…

one of the Holly Woods Files series and while it does not end in a
cliffhanger, it is not a standalone.)

she drops the cape, pours a glass of whatever she fancies - usually
wine - and writes books.
Emma is working on Top
Secret projects she will share with her followers and fans at every

love.
She likes to be busy -
unless busy involves doing the dishes, but that seems to be when all
the ideas come to life.

Excerpt:
“Why are you here?”
He pulls his ear
defenders down. “Out here?”
“Here.” I yank off
my ear defenders. “At my parents’ for family dinner. Out here,
bugging me. Take your pick. I’ll take a reason for either.”
“Your nonna appears
to have taken a real good likin’ to me. If I didn’t know better,
I’d say she’s tryna set us up.”
“Clearly, she’s
losin’ her mind,” I snap, reloading my gun again before tucking
it back into my boot. I fold my arms and meet his eyes. “And out
here? Why are you here?”
Nothing. Just silence.
Just those goddamned beautiful eyes boring into mine.
“No? Okay.” I walk
past him, pushing hair from my face.
“Don’t go out with
him again.” His arm shoots out to stop me, and his words hit me
hard. “Gio.”
“Since when has it
been any of your business what I do?” I face him, narrowing my eyes
as our gazes collide. “Last I checked, I’m a single, grown woman,
and if I want to go out with someone, I will.”
“He’s not the kind
of guy you need.”
“Neither are you,”
I reply, running my eyes down his white shirt, which is untucked over
his dark-blue jeans. The bottom of his shirt is gaping, allowing me a
view of a triangle of tan skin with a smattering of dark hair. I
linger there for a moment before pulling my gaze back up. “Yet here
we are, having this conversation, you thinkin’ you know what’s
best for me.”
