USA TODAY Bestselling Author Holly S Roberts likes to gloss over her exciting past as a homicide detective and make you think she sits at a computer all day writing. Nothing could be farther from the truth. You’ll find Holly in the mountains on a long hike or at the gym pounding barbells with the boys. She’s a health coach and nutritionist as well as being vegan and proving muscles come from hard work and plant-based foods. When the weather’s too cold for outdoor play, she sneaks into her dark cave and writes until her fingers ache. She’s also followed around by a hundred-pound Rottweiler with anxiety issues and constant need for affection. Each finished chapter gets a dog lick when Holly stays on course.   

Enter the hotter than hell world of sex, drugs, and danger. Notorious crime boss Chase Xavier Moon takes few prisoners and lives a lavish life of sin limited only by his imagination. When ex-cop Madison Kinlock enters Moon’s world, nothing will ever be the same. They knock heads constantly but everyone knows the heat is turned on high and a meltdown to end all meltdowns is coming.

It's a little after two in the afternoon and sweltering heat rises off the black asphalt. There's a bench under a tree and I head in that direction. I don't bother sitting. I've done enough of that over the past few days.


The doctor said they're discharging Sofia in the next few days if she keeps improving. I haven't dwelled on what this will cost. It's the least of my worries right now. I stand in the shade and call Gomez.


He answers immediately. "We have her and a little extra baggage. Can you talk?"
