BLURB: 

When Officer Blake Herro agreed to go undercover in the Mob, he thought he understood the risks. But he's made mistakes and now an innocent woman has become their target. He's determined to protect her at all costs.

The Mob's death threat turns Dr. Dani Hart's life upside down, but there is one danger she doesn’t anticipate. As she's dodging bullets, she's falling in love with Blake. With danger all around them, will she and Blake survive and have a happy ending, or will the Mob make good on their threat? 


EXCERPT:

       She panted with fear. What if they see the chest? What if we get caught? What if my breath stinks and I’m breathing right into Officer Hottie’s face? She shut her mouth and let oxygen flow through her nose.
Her eyesight slowly adjusted to the darkness and she could see Officer Herro’s silhouette. His head was turned and he was listening to the thuds of heavy boots getting louder; the intruders were coming their way.
Then the thunder of footsteps sounded right next to them. “There’s no one here, Red,” someone announced.
“Look for documents,” a man ordered, who Dani could only assume was Red. “I want the name of the person I’m going to kill.”
A moment later, there was a reply. “All the mail is addressed to a Dr. Hart.”
Hearing her name said aloud by one of the men who had ransacked her place made her want to gasp. Her mouth fell open and her breath was reversing into her lungs, but before she could make a sound, Officer Herro lowered his lips to hers, silencing her. Stunned, she could only lie beneath him with her eyes wide and her body tense. She couldn’t believe he was kissing her. She wanted to push him back, but knew if she did he might hit the inside of the chest, giving away their hiding place. That was when she realized he was kissing her so she wouldn’t gasp.
She let her body relax. After her initial shock faded, she was able to feel his lips. They were comforting and caused a reaction deep inside her. She couldn’t stop her lips from reacting to his. It was an innocent connection, a soft touch of lips. Until his hand slid from her shoulder to her neck and the kiss deepened into something else.

    I have no idea where I would go. Guess I'd just be dead.

    1. Yeah, I think I'd be pretty useless if I was being chased by the mob. ha. But you never know until you're there, I guess!

    2. HAHA! Alex, I probably would be dead, too. My character is a lot tougher than I am! ;)

  2. I don't think I'd do well in that situation. Guess I'd better stay out of trouble.

    Congrats to Chrys!

  8. A good question...frightening too. Hard to imagine, until you are slap-bang in the middle of it!
    That's a great cover.

    1. Thanks, Michelle! I suppose no one knows just what they would do unless they were in that kind of situation.

  9. The excerpt sounds intriguing. Best wishes, Chrys.

    Where would I go if the mob were after me? I'd go over and hang around in my local Walmart. They'd never think to look for me there. And it's a 24 hour Walmart so I could just hang around as long as I wanted to.

    1. Thank you, Arlee! And what's funny is that Dani says almost the exact same thing in 30 Seconds about grocery stories. It's actually a funny scene. ;)
