Book Description:
Fans
of Linda Howard will love Dangerous, the story of a driven female cop
who teams up with an irresistible ex-con to bring a killer to
justice—and discovers that breaking the rules is hotter on the
wrong side of the law.
Chicago
homicide detective Camille Martell will stop at nothing to track down
“Angel,” a sexual predator who has already butchered two young
victims—even after her off-the-books investigation leads to her
suspension. But when her relentless attempts to contact Angel online
puts her teenage neighbor in mortal danger, Camille’s worst fears
are realized. Panicked and overwhelmed with guilt, Camille needs
help—even if it comes from the one man she swore she’d do
anything to forget.
After
serving time for a trumped-up charge, private investigator Drago
Nance doesn’t trust cops. Nothing will change that, not even the
steamy weekend with Camille that burned itself into his memory. But
with an innocent girl’s life at stake, Drago can’t ignore the
need in Camille’s eyes, or the heated promise in her touch. He
agrees to help—if she’s willing to play by his rules. He just
never suspected that seducing his partner could be just as thrilling
as chasing a madman.

Excerpt: Shortly after dawn, Camille entered the century-old building on Ravenswood, an industrial
corridor
divided by raised Metra train tracks straight down the middle. Her
life was now in
shambles,
and guilt dogged her. Sandy was gone, and she was to blame, the
reason she was here.
She
had no other options left. Taking a deep breath, Camille took the
elevator up to the third
floor
and stopped in front of the door to Justus Investigations. She tried
not to think about the
fact
that Justus was Drago’s brother. Or that she and Drago had spent a
mind-bending weekend
in a
hotel room. At this moment, finding Sandy was the only thing that
mattered.
The
attractive dark-haired woman at the front desk appeared startled to
see her. “Can I
help
you?”
“I’m
here to see Justus Nance.”
“Um,
this early?” Frowning, the woman checked her computer. “I don’t
see an
appointment.”
“He’ll
see me.” At least she hoped he would. Justus had been her mentor in
the
department
when she’d applied to be a detective. “Tell him it’s Camille
Martell.”
The
woman picked up the phone, and a moment later, Justus opened his
office door and
waved
her in. “Camille, beautiful as ever.”
“You
always were an expert liar.”
Justus
didn’t deny it. Sometimes you had to be a great liar to get to the
truth when grilling
a
suspect. Camille had no illusions about herself. Her mirror had
assured her that she looked as
crappy
as she felt. On the other hand, Justus was as handsome as ever, an
older, smoother version
of his
brother.
The
moment she took her seat, Justus said, “So Rodriguez put you on
administrative
leave.”
She
cringed when she remembered the conversation she’d had with her
lieutenant the
night
before.
“This
doesn’t look good for you, Camille,” Rodriguez tells her. “You
were off the case.
What
you did was unsanctioned. I can’t condone vigilante action. The
department won’t.”
“With
all due respect, sir, I was trying to get to Angel before he had
another chance at
some
innocent woman.” Desperate to make him believe she wasn’t doing
anything wrong, she
says,
“If I’d have found him, you would’ve known about it.”
“When?
After you carried through with whatever plan was going through that
head of
yours?”
“The
plan was to stop a murderer!”
“Exactly.”
Camille
had tried to argue her way out of an administrative leave. It never
boded well to
ignore
a superior’s directive. She could almost feel the tears of
frustration and anger again when she
had set her star and gun down on his desk.
