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.

"Just got the tox back on your latest and its positive for ketamine."


"That was my response too. We knew from the wounds that we're dealing with the same killer and this pretty much confirms it."


I lean back and prop my feet on the coffee table. "So am I, but like you said, we both knew what we were dealing with. I'll have a sit down with my supervisor today and go from there."


"Let me know if you need something from me."


"Will do." I yawn before disconnecting.
