Today I'm excited to welcome the amazing writing duo Misty Evans and Adrienne Giordano and their hottest, newest release, Cheating Justice!
Book Summary:
While
investigating a government cover-up, former FBI agent Mitch Monroe is framed
for murder. A wanted man, Mitch has no choice but to stay off the grid, and he
needs Special Agent Caroline Foster—the FBI’s top sniper and a woman who wants
nothing to do with him—to clear his name.
After
sharing a single night of simmering passion with Mitch a year ago, Caroline
hasn’t been able to get him out of her head. Or her heart. He's jeopardized her
job once…helping him now could end her career. But a friend has been murdered,
and no matter how Caroline feels about Mitch, he's not the killer. She needs
answers, and she needs Mitch Monroe out of her life once and for all.
On the
run and with no one to turn to, Mitch and Caroline can’t fight the reigniting
passion between them. She’ll lose her career if she proves Mitch is
innocent…he’ll lose his life if she doesn’t.

Excerpt
from Cheating Justice
“I always said you had the best ass in the FBI.”
Her body froze. Eleven months, five days and—she did the
math—twelve hours had passed since she’d heard that voice. The one she’d
thought about time and again after his last brief visit to her apartment, and
she still managed to be equal parts pissed off, concerned and flat-out
heartbroken. That voice could only belong to one person. Thus the remark
about her ass and—wow—she always knew he had a set of stones, but this
was too much even for Mitch Monroe. The man she’d spent all these months trying
to forget. Months of burying herself in cases, months of begging her boss for
every available opportunity to keep her mind occupied, months of a busy life
that didn’t allow for downtime.
Or thoughts of Mitch.
Without turning, she picked up her weapon. “Well, look what the
cat dragged in. A girl puts her career on the line for you and you don’t call,
you don’t write, nothing. To say the least, your technique needs work.”
And then he laughed. She’d waited months to hit him with that line
and he laughed. Classic Mitch. She closed her eyes and—forget that he
was a federal fugitive now wanted for murder—she’d kill him herself and be done
with the whole affair.
Mitch, a murderer? She couldn’t believe it. No matter what the
White House was spinning about Kemp Rodgers’ death, Mitch wouldn’t kill his
friend.
Then, again, she’d been Mitch’s friend once…
Finally, she turned, bracing herself for whatever disguise might
greet her, but found none. Brave.
As usual.
She took in his long brown hair pulled back in a low ponytail, his
dark eyes and ripped jeans, and shook her head. “You’re insane for coming
here.”
He shrugged. “It’s a private range. Not like I walked into
Quantico.”
It wasn’t enough that he’d almost destroyed her career when he’d
first started working The Lion case, now he wanted to have a second go at it.
He was a fugitive wanted for murder and she was an FBI agent. She should arrest
him.
Yet, she stood waiting for him to say something that would make a
damned difference. I’m sorry? I didn’t do it? Anything that would erase the
idea that he could have murdered his friend.
She set her rifle on the table behind her, slid the bolt open. Not
loaded. She knew it wasn’t, but she checked anyway. Always.
Mitch shuffled behind her.
Too bad. He could wait like she’d waited for him all these months.
Her canvas carry case sat on the bench seat. Like many people, she
preferred canvas over hard plastic because the softer material didn’t make the
rifle sweat. She dug through the case for her lens covers, popped them on, set
the rifle into the case—bolt upward—and zipped it.
She’d clean the rifle later. For her, keeping a weapon in top
working order meant cleaning it after every use. Even if only one shot had been
fired, her weapons got cleaned. Every time.
She sensed Mitch moving closer, stirring the air around her,
upsetting the energy, letting her know he was near. He had that way about him.
Sometimes good, sometimes not.
“I need your help.”
Of course he did. Should have known. Radio silence for eleven
months and now he wanted her help. “I should shoot you and dump your body in
the Reflecting Pool.”
“Yeah, you should.”
She spun and—crack!—smacked him, sending his head sideways
and making her hand sting. She’d never physically attacked anyone before and
she couldn’t say it felt right or just, but unleashing it felt good. To let him
know he’d hurt her. “We were friends. I helped you and you disregarded me.”
“Disregarded you?” Mitch slid a hand over his cheek. “I’ve
stayed away and I’m sorry. But what, Caroline? You want to do lunch or hit the
shooting range with me? A guy wanted for assaulting your boss and now a federal
fugitive?” Gently, he knocked on her head. “Think about it. I was protecting
you.”
She didn’t need his protection. “I’m mad at you.”
“Atta girl.”
God, he was annoying. “You had a good reason to take a swing at
Donaldson when he threatened you during The Lion case, but honest to God,
Mitch, I think he should have swung back and ended it right there instead of
trying to throw you in jail. But you should have manned up and never run from
the charges, so whatever this is, I can’t help you.”
“Tommy Nusco.”
“You murdered him, too?”
Surprisingly, he blanched. “I didn’t kill anyone. I need to know
what went down with Tommy.”
Oh, please. He really had lost his mind if he thought she’d touch
that subject. That involved ATF and the State of New Mexico and she wasn’t
about to step into that snake pit. “You better worry about what went down with
Kemp Rodgers and why the White House is after you. Turn yourself in, Mitch.”
“Kemp told me the White House is buzzing about Executive Privilege
being invoked on Tommy’s case. A few hours later, he’s dead. Put two and two
together, Caroline. There’s a cover-up in the works and what happened to Tommy
is at the heart of it.”
She faced him, still hating that he stood a good six inches taller
and managed to make her feel small. She folded her arms and stepped forward,
got right into his space. “No.”
“Whatever they’re concocting about Tommy is bullshit.”
“I don’t know that.”
“Yeah, you do. When we all worked together, we hung out. You knew
him.”
“Not that well.”
He rolled his eyes in that typical I’m-Mitch-Monroe-and-I’m-bored
way of his. “He was not dirty. Whatever he was doing, the government is
letting a dead agent take the heat. Why not? He’s dead anyway. Doesn’t matter
that he was a decorated officer. The government obviously needs
to clean up a mess and—” he inched closer, tilted his head and stared right
into her eyes “—I know all about how the government cleans up a mess.”
Back away. She should, but that would play
into what he wanted. He wanted to control this conversation. His looming
presence used to be enough that she’d give him that control.
Not this time.
She tilted her head the opposite direction, eased out a
half-smile. “Mitch?”
“Yes?”
“Screw you.”
She turned her back to him and scooped up her rifle case. Right
now, she needed to walk away and not let him talk her into something that would
wreck her career.

ReplyDeleteI really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me. Then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again.
