Synopsis
Julie Preston is an artist.
But her canvas isn’t paper or clay. It’s hair. She spends her days coloring, blow drying and styling her
clients hair at the Razor’s Edge salon. Julie is also annoyed. She went out on a date and had a great time,
gave the guy her number and the jerk never called.
So when he waltzes into
the salon and sits down in her chair she briefly considers strangling him with the pink cape she fastens
around his neck.
Too bad she can’t.</
span>
Blue Markson, the guy who
never called, is a police officer so causing him bodily harm would be a first class ticket into the slammer.
Just looking at him again makes Julie forget why she was mad in the first place, but she’s already learned
that Blue is nothing but heartache. So when he starts coming around, acting like he hadn’t made her
stare at the phone for days, she tries to brush him off.
Only…
Her life is about to blow up
in her face, she’s about to get caught up in a sticky web of crime and the one guy who can help her is the
one guy she vowed never to trust again.

Excerpt
I leaned back against my padded headboard and tried to
calm my rolling stomach. As I sat there, trying not to barf a light sound caught my attention.
It was the closing of the front door.
I perked up, forgetting all about the fact I was
suffering from an attack of an unsuspecting hangover.
Had I forgotten to lock the door? I never
forgot to lock the door. But I was usually not running from my best friend.
Great.
The one time I don’t lock the damn door is the one
time a burglar decides to come a calling.
Too bad for mister criminal I had a plan for
something like this. I was the kind of girl that always had a plan.
I crept into the bathroom, being as quiet as I could
and reached into the cabinet. I pulled out my weapons (hey, all the crap that women have to do to
themselves to look good definitely qualify as weapons.) and gripped them closely to my chest with both
hands.
My heart was beating so hard against my ribs that
it actually hurt and I had to work to not gasp for breath. Catching my intruder by surprise was key to my
plan.
Moving quickly through the dark I moved to the
bedroom door, leaning against the wall and peering out into the darkened hallway. I could see the top of
the stairs from where I stood, as well as the railing that ran alongside the hallway to keep someone from
falling into the stairwell from upstairs.
Courtesy of the nightlight down in the entry way
(it came in handy when I wanted a drink in the middle of the night) I saw a shadow move against the
wall, the figure was large and distorted against the tall bare wall of the stairwell.
Up until that point I hadn’t been certain someone
was in the house.
But now I couldn’t deny it.
There was a robber in my house.
He for sure had nefarious plans.
Too bad for him I had a really shitty night and
wasn’t in the mood.
As his foot stepped on the bottom stairs I slinked
out of the door and along the wall, keeping my eyes trained on the top of the stairs. He began climbing
the stairs (I was very unimpressed with his quietness, or rather lack thereof.) and as he climbed I slipped
along the wall, moving through the darkness until I was standing in the corner directly across from the
top of the stairs.
I saw his shoulders appear as he continued
upwards. He was wearing a dark coat and a dark hat… he was nothing but a large ominous shape in the
night.
I swallowed, the sound of my saliva scraping
down my dry throat made me wince and my palms were sweaty, causing me to tighten my grip on my
weapons.
