Just Desserts

A distraction in the form of Ali Fitzgerald turns Detective Gabe Mackenzie's head, but now he has the unfortunate task of being assigned to her. All he knows is she is trouble. Too much of a vision for any man, he needs to remain focused, but he is beyond invested.



A break-in sees Ali's nightmares return, but they are not related, stemming way back, from something far more sinister. A celebrity chef, damaged and afraid, the discovery of an explosive device sees her wondering who could wish her harm. Gabe vows to do whatever he can to wipe the look of abject terror from her face, and God help the person responsible . . .



Ali's nemesis is a shark in shallow waters. To come out in the open would mean no going back, for anyone, not just her. Is she brave enough to face it and deal? First, she has to lock down her fear, not explode in remembered agony. A train wreck inside, can she get whoever it is to sell themselves up the river? Can the truth set her free? Ali has a long road ahead.



But something is off and Gabe knows it. When Ali's safety is in question, he opens his mind to the horror that lies within. What nails the door of silence tightly shut? Can she hold her own? Or will Gabe arrive too late?



Ali gets a kick out of teasing Gabe mercilessly, her mission to ruffle his feathers. Can the detective be her lifeboat on a stormy sea? Scottish romance, anyone?



The next tale in the Fitzgerald family saga, this book is certain to keep you hooked . . .
