BLURB:
Erin
Grady is used to taking care of people. That’s why she’s thrilled to finally
realize her dream of opening a clinic…and why she’s willing to overlook where
the money came from—until a determined prosecutor comes sniffing around.
Will Patton is
desperate to leave the small fogbound town of Lost Coast Harbor and build a
real career for himself. But to do that, he’ll need to expose the dirty police
chief—and betray the woman who makes him wonder if he’s leaving town too soon.
But the corruption in
Lost Coast Harbor runs deep and wide—and exposing the truth will require Erin
and Will to expose their hearts…no matter the risk.

EXCERPT:
Erin studied Will in the pale illumination from the street
lamp. The overhead light brought out his cheekbones and cast his eyes into
shadows. The fine mist settled on his thick dark hair.
God, he was really good looking. Objectively, she’d
recognized this fact from the moment he’d fallen in front of her, and again
when he was lounging in the hospital, trying to charm the nurses. But now,
standing in the dark and cold night, alone… she couldn’t take her eyes off him.
His lips turned up slightly and her stomach fluttered. She’d
been staring too long, too intently. The heat burned up her neck to her cheeks.
“How about the dinner
I promised?” he asked.
Erin shook her head. “You don’t have to do that.”
As soon as the words slipped out, she wanted to take them
back. His gaze intensified and the flutters in her stomach grew to tremors. She
didn’t even like cops, and though he wasn’t in uniform, that’s basically what
he was. He was the end result of law enforcement.
“I want to.”
She shivered and tried to tell herself it was the chill from
the fog, but knew it wasn’t. It had been way too long since a man had looked at
her like that.
Oh, what the hell.
“I have to get Colin home,” she said.
“Tomorrow then,” he said. He still held her hand, his thumb
casually stroking the inside of her wrist. The touch was intimate, familiar.
Long-dormant parts of her body woke in a wave of longing and heat.
“I can’t tomorrow. I, uh, have to—I have plans,” she said,
with genuine regret.
Will raised an eyebrow and Erin realized she was brushing
off the only man who’d taken her breath away with a touch in, well, forever.
“It seems that an awful lot of your vocabulary revolves
around what you have to do,” he said, his head tilted slightly as he watched
her. “How about this? I’m going down to the Crab Shack for dinner in about an
hour, because it’s the only place open on a Monday night in this town. I’ll get
a table for two. If you want to join me, I’d love the company.”
What she wanted was a nearly foreign concept, something Will
seemed to have picked up on. She could defend herself, argue that she did what
she wanted. That would be a lie, though. And she did want to meet him later.
“I’ll be there,” she said.
It was a good opportunity to take Jerry's advice and talk to
a prosecutor about the donation to the clinic, her rational mind said. It was
just dinner.
But with a man whose slightest touch sent her reeling, her
body reminded her. So don’t be late.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Like so many
good ideas, Lost Coast Harbor was inspired by a few rounds of margaritas. One
sunny afternoon, Lily Danes and Eve Kincaid went to a Mexican restaurant for
snacks and tequila and left with the idea for a new series. Inspired by their
love of noir movies and 1940s crime novels, they imagined a gritty small town
full of crime and corruption, where intrigue and mystery can lead to love and
passion.

Eve Kincaid
is a lapsed lawyer who decided that fictional crime was more fun than the real
deal. When she’s not writing about mysterious women and the dangerous and sexy
men who love them, she’s probably shopping for books, lipstick, or imported
cheeses to complement a nice California pinot noir.
