Thank

helping me spread the news about my new series called "Vegas"
~Welcome~
This is release day for the new romantic suspense
Vegas Series by Mimi Barbour
"Partners"
Book One in the new Romantic Suspense Vegas Series.
Riveting and
fast-paced, this short blockbuster will introduce you to Aurora Morelli and Kai
Lawson, the characters who are the stars of the Vegas Series.
In this novel, Aurora
is forced to accept one very difficult fact—she's lonesome for her partner
Debbie. An attack by a maniac put paid to their working together and Aurora is
pissed. She's out to get the madman who hurt her friend and God help anyone who
gets in her way. Therefore when a
new partner is forced on her, a bloody hotshot no less, the kind of dude she
always stays as far away from as possible, she's even more pissed.
This action–packed
short is humorous and will sweep you into the lives of these Las Vegas Detectives.
Short Excerpt – Chapter One
So this is what missing someone feels like.
Kind of sad and lonely mashed together, eating away at you all day long. Aurora
had never felt this way before; wouldn’t have given herself permission. This
time the annoying ache refused to stop.
She seldom allowed gloomy thoughts to grab
hold and mess with her head. But looking around the small office assigned to
her and another, seeing the empty desk, sorrow gnawed away until she gave in.
Her old partner Deb left behind a hollow emptiness, a sensation she wouldn’t
ever admit to anyone else. What did you expect? She chastised herself.
Not having the person you trust more than anyone else in the world backing you
up sucked big time.
Two weeks ago, life had been normal. She’d
gone to get a cup of the sludge they called coffee and left Debbie working on
their backlog of case files. Returning to their office, Lieutenant Cory Ashton
had caught up with her and they’d stepped into the room together, both coming
to a dead stop. Debbie, who’d lately taken to the layered look with sloppy
clothes, had bent over to pick something up from the floor and everything had
draped open— her pregnant belly had been revealed for all to see.
"Roll the Dice" Book Two in the romantic suspense Vegas
Series.
“You shot me!” Aurora is incensed. Her new
partner shrugs and answers. “I saved your life.” From the very first page of
this riveting story, these two battle for supremacy in trying to catch the
serial rapist who ripped both their lives apart. With all her might, she fights
the attraction to his baby blues that tease and start her internal warning
devices humming. After all, her job is her life and determination has always
been her lifeline.
Kai has a mission of honor to undertake. The
man who’d raped his sister can’t be allowed to live. After all, she hadn’t!
Revenge fills his soul while visions of his new partner fills his heart. The
sassy woman rattles his calm, and he can’t keep his hands to himself. Doesn’t
mean she has the power to stop him from doing what has to be done.
Short Excerpt – Chapter One
“You shot me!”
“You told me to.”
“Dumb shit!” Aurora
pushed her new partner from hovering over her so she could sit up. “I didn't
mean it. I just wanted you to scare Rhondo.” She felt blood poring from the
wound on her arm and purposely kept her head turned away.
“Shooting you did
scare him. He let you go, didn't he?”
Aurora frowned at
him. Why did his voice have to sound so damn reasonable?
“What-ever!” She
hoped her scorn would get to him.
“Hey! I saw his eyes,
you didn’t. He had every intention
of using that knife. You know, the sharp one he had pressed against your
throat. If I’d shot him instead of you…” He shrugged.
Aurora shuddered,
fighting off nausea. She didn’t want to listen to reason. Being angry made the
situation a whole lot easier to deal with. Sarcasm, the best weapon she had in
a macho man's environment, replaced whining.
She glared at him and
saw his shapely eyebrows rise. The light of the bulb hanging from the ceiling
of the cruddy apartment haloed his head making the bare skin shine. “Just my frigging luck to end up with a
partner who thinks and looks like Bruce Willis."
Kai chuckled. Her
glower put a quick end to his merriment. He tried changing the subject with
sweet talk. "I've been told I have a nicely shaped head for being
bald."
"Sure and it
goes swell with your baby-blue eyes." She sneered on purpose. No way would
she admit he did look good.
His response was a
grunt of displeasure. “Are you always this crabby?”
Disbelief shone in
her amazed expression. “Not at all…” She said, disdain evident. “…only when
I’ve been shot.”
