A Kiss in the Shadows
by Eve Kincaid and Lily Danes
GENRE: Contemporary Romantic Suspense
BLURB:
Erin
Grady is used to taking care of people. That’s why she’s thrilled to finally
realize her dream of opening a clinic…and why she’s willing to overlook where
the money came from—until a determined prosecutor comes sniffing around.
Will Patton is
desperate to leave the small fogbound town of Lost Coast Harbor and build a
real career for himself. But to do that, he’ll need to expose the dirty police
chief—and betray the woman who makes him wonder if he’s leaving town too soon.
But the corruption in
Lost Coast Harbor runs deep and wide—and exposing the truth will require Erin
and Will to expose their hearts…no matter the risk.
EXCERPT:
“I take care of myself. I don’t need
someone to take care of me,” Erin said.
Will ran a thumb across her pouty
bottom lip. He didn’t doubt that she believed it. That stubborn tilt to her jaw
said she was independent and self-reliant. She was tough, and strong, and he
wouldn’t want her any other way. But God, he just wanted to hold her and care
for her for a change.
“Not tonight.”
Her eyes widened at the contact of
his fingers along her cheek.
“No?” Her voice dropped to a husky
whisper.
“I’m going to kiss you,” he
whispered.
Her eyes widened and her lips parted
in a small smile. “You are?”
He stroked her hair again, then
through the strands until his hand was at the back of her neck.
“And then, I’m going to push that
indecent dress up just a little higher, and see what you wore for me tonight,”
he said, feeling her heart beat under his fingers.
She swallowed and started to reach
for him, but he stilled her hand, covering it with his. He shifted so he could
pull her closer.
“I know it’s something sexy,” he
breathed into her neck, then pressed his lips against the soft skin below her
ear. “Lace? Silk?”
Her breath escaped in a rush as he
ran his hand down her body, over the curves that had been tempting him all
night. His fingers played with the hem of the short dress and Erin shifted as
his hand moved under the fabric and across soft, warm skin. His hands roamed
higher, up the back of her legs, along the curve there and moving higher still.
His mouth went dry as he realized
the lace and silk he was reaching for wasn’t there. Instead, his fingers
brushed her soft, hot core, making her squirm against his hand.
“Jesus, Erin,” he breathed.
AUTHOR BIO:
Like
so many good ideas, Lost Coast Harbor
was inspired by a few rounds of margaritas. One sunny afternoon, Lily Danes and Eve Kincaid went to a Mexican restaurant for snacks and tequila and
left with the idea for a new series. Inspired by their love of noir movies and
1940s crime novels, they imagined a gritty small town full of crime and
corruption, where intrigue and mystery can lead to love and passion.
Eve Kincaid is a lapsed lawyer
who decided that fictional crime was more fun than the real deal. When she’s
not writing about mysterious women and the dangerous and sexy men who love
them, she’s probably shopping for books, lipstick, or imported cheeses to
complement a nice California pinot noir.

She’d love to hear from you. Just don’t be creepy about it.
