BLURB:
Who
killed the vivacious, Emily McGuire and laid out her body at the water tower?
Orderly, rule-follower Mia McGuire is the least likely person to answer this
question. Mia’s life has taken a downward spiral with her sister Emily’s
murder, the breakup with her boyfriend, and losing her editing position. But
when the homicide investigation crawls, Mia can’t stand by doing nothing. She
hires the problematic Lucas Davis to help her find the truth.
After suffering trauma from a shooting on the job, Lucas Davis resigns from the local force. Once known as a daredevil in his small Florida town, he has become an embarrassment to his dad, the police chief. When Mia offers him investigative work, he quickly accepts the job to prove he still possesses the skills and guts to solve the case. Together, these two unlikely sleuths form an intimate bond and are determined to beat the odds. They set out to bring a terrifying killer to justice before he targets them next.

EXCERPT
“Mia?” A deep male voice shouted to her.
She turned to the sound of the voice. Lucas Davis was
striding to her. He was here too? The tall, blond-headed man paced to her in a
hurried power gait. Mia blinked, trying to adjust to the fact he wasn’t in her
imagination.
He stopped a few feet from her. “We meet again. I’d say it’s
my lucky day.” His playful tone eased the ache of tension vibrating in her
skull. His eyes were warm.
The tightness in her body drained away. She tilted her head.
“You don’t have a clone that was at the station earlier, do you?”
“I’m the one and only. It would cause a lot of gossip in
Star Pointe if I had a twin.” A hint of mischief curved his mouth slightly
upward.
She’d been talking and thinking about him yesterday and
today. Now he stood in front of her—a second time. It was like she kept wishing
him to appear. Gram’s words floated into her mind. That boy could be the poster
child for lack of common sense.
Had “the shooting” changed him? His overgrown hair and
cutoff shorts fit the casual look of a perpetual beach boy. He was lean and
trim, probably from his training in law enforcement. Although his sturdy
six-foot-plus frame reminded her he’d been into lots of sports in school. “Are
you here to surf?”
