Book Synopsis:
Las Vegas
embalmer Lily Sanborn’s vacation at the remote retreat in Belize should have
been heaven...if her idea of heaven was a gazillion degrees, humidity, and
enough mosquitos to require daily transfusions. Just as she decides to make the
best of her tropical destination, she stumbles upon a murder, witnesses a
kidnapping and meets the most attractive man she’s ever seen.
Dr. Cooper
Deforest is seriously attracted to this stunning woman with a razor-sharp
tongue. In fact, he is having the damnedest time trying to keep his hands off
Lily. But when murder, kidnapping, a drug cartel and police corruption intrude
on his peaceful jungle world, Cooper wonders just what sort of person Lily is.
Even though
their chemistry sizzles, Lily’s trust issues get in the way. As much as Cooper
wants this woman, he can’t get over the fact that wherever Lily goes, death
seems to follow...

Deadly Trouble excerpt

She started to
relax just as a pair of parrots began to squabble. Green and red feathers flew,
and their high-pitched screeches caught everyone’s and everything’s
attention. Why couldn’t Frankie have booked a lodge on a quiet, white,
sandy beach? With a huff, Lily snatched a palm-sized piece of
pineapple from her plate and pitched it at the obnoxious birds. All the birds
scattered.
“You know,” a
deep voice—unmistakably American—said from behind her. “The clay-colored robins
will stay and sing you a pretty song if you feed them the
fruit rather than pelting them on the head.” A devilishly handsome man, skin
darkened from the sun and clad in a white-linen shirt and khaki shorts,
approached.
“I was aiming
for the parrots. Anyway, who said I wanted them to sing?” She kept her
expression blank as she peered up into his hooded, blue eyes. Instantly
attraction sizzled through her. Without a doubt, her body betrayed her effort
to be indifferent as her breathing grew rapid and her traitorous tongue
moistened her lips.
“I take it
you’re not a birder.” Amusement laced his words.
She struggled
to focus on the conversation, growing more annoyed with herself by each passing
second. “No. The only bird I like is one roasted on my dinner plate.”
He unleashed a
million-dollar smile.
Inwardly, Lily
groaned—he even had perfectly straight, white teeth and dimples. This guy oozed
sexy and had “flirt” stamped on his tan, wide forehead. Then and there she
decided he was probably a little more than she wanted to deal with. It would be
like going fishing and catching a marlin. You’re going to want to keep it,
polish it with oil, stare at it constantly, unable to believe your good luck,
and place it on the trailer wall to show off to all your friends, but in
retrospect, you’re going to realize you really just needed a Red Snapper:
something less time consuming and pretty good in the fish tacos department.
