Blurb for Fatal Exposure
Cold-case detective Parker
McCall has spent fifteen years trying to solve his brother’s murder. Now
a chance photo of the killer in the newspaper sets him hard on the woman’s
trail. A former teenaged runaway, reclusive, award-winning
photojournalist B.K. Elliot chronicles the harsh reality of life on the streets
-- until a photo in the paper reveals her identity, blowing the lid off her
secret past. With a powerful murderer now dogging her heels, and her
police officer step-father determined to silence her permanently, the last
person she can afford to trust is a cop. So why does sexy police
detective Parker McCall tempt her to break her silence and resurrect ideals
she’d lost years ago? As danger closes in, and with more than her own
life at stake, Brynn must decide if the duty-bound cop will betray her...or
heal her battered heart.
Excerpt from Fatal Exposure
“All
right,” she said. “Undo my hands.”
“You
promise to answer my questions?”
“I
said I would.”
He
tossed her backpack onto the pile of papers and pulled out the handcuff key. He
reached for her wrists and unlocked the cuffs, trying to ignore the alluring
fragrance of her skin and hair. Then he stepped back, his impatience mounting
as he waited for her to do her part.
But
she took her time, righting the chair, taking off her peacoat and draping it
over her bag. At last she turned to face him, and for the first time, he got a
close look at her in the light. She was even more attractive than he’d expected
with her wary green eyes and delicately winged brows, that long tumble of
auburn hair. Her mouth was evocative and full, her high, sculpted cheekbones
tinged with pink. A smattering of freckles dusted her small nose.
He
raked his gaze down the rest of her—over her small, high breasts and slender
waist, slim hips clad in low-slung jeans—and his heart began to thud. She
looked amazingly like the computerized image, but softer, far sexier. More
vulnerable.
Vulnerable?
He stifled a snort. He wouldn’t make that mistake again.
He
returned his gaze to hers. And without warning, a sense of awareness arrowed
between them, a deep tug of sexual attraction that caught him unprepared. His
belly went taut, a rush of adrenaline accelerating his pulse.

He
bit back hard on a curse. Wrong time. Wrong place. Definitely the wrong woman,
considering she was a potential suspect in his brother’s death. And her
reaction didn’t help—her eyes going wide and dark, her breath catching on a
quiet gasp, impacting him even more.
“I
need a drink,” she muttered, spinning around.
That
made two of them.
I really enjoy a good romantic suspense story, and this is right down my reading alley.
I'm so curious about how the murderer evaded Parker for so many years! I also find Brynn's background details intriguing! Thanks for chance to enter the giveaway!
