Never judge a sexy man by his cover.
Detective Beau Williams is hard-working, dedicated,
and professional. He enjoys the finer things in life, but with his heavy
caseload that includes what Beau suspects is a new serial killer, he has no
time to enjoy much of anything. What the tall redhead needs is someone to shake
him up a little.
Investigative Technician Austin Kent never met a
snarky joke he didn’t like - or a set of stairs that couldn’t trip him up. One
night after a devastating episode at work, Austin sees something else he likes
- the handsome detective he’s seen around the station whom he’s always wondered
about. But after he makes a drunken fool of himself in front of Detective
Williams, he’s sure there’s no hope.
Beau and Austin’s worlds collide right away when
Austin is sent to pick up some evidence at the station. Amidst a myriad of
twists and turns in the troubling serial killer style murders of Vegas
conventioneers, Austin and Beau discover that there’s more to the other than
they’d originally thought. There might even be more they’d like to give –
unless the killer has the final say.

Excerpt:
Yeah. That’s it.
He
raised his glass in the direction of the bartender who was at the far end of
the polished wood counter. The server jerked his chin at Austin in
acknowledgement. Soon enough, another double filled his glass and Austin
realized just how horny he really was. Hadn’t he heard or read somewhere that
it was common for people to fuck after attending a funeral? Something about it
being life affirming or some such shit.
Whatever.
It
wasn’t likely he’d find anyone at El
Lagarto. It was mostly crowds of friends or het couples. The few lone guys
at the bar not only didn’t do much for him, but even if they were gay, they’d
be more likely to inspire the desire in him to never have sex again.
Jesus. Do I look like that to other
men?
He
took a surreptitious glance at himself in the mirror at the back of the bar. He
needed a haircut for sure. He wasn’t the most handsome guy on the planet, but
he was okay. He frowned. He was mid-thirties, not a hundred and seven. He
worked out and didn’t have a paunch, despite the amount of crappy food and
alcohol he ingested. The worry lines between his brow and decorating his
forehead didn’t do him any favors, but he didn’t think he was hideous.
Who gives a fuck.
His
original goal for the night had simply involved getting plastered while
surrounded by some of his rowdy friends. They were supposed to be there to
shield him from pesky thoughts poking at the edges of his sanity that involved
dead friends. Nowhere in his mind had he planned on getting laid—which
explained his casual button-up and 501s. If he’d wanted to pursue some quality
tail, he would’ve opted for something classier and headed to the Pink Palace.
That place had never failed him.
His
arm was jostled slightly and he turned to see who’d brushed up against him—wondering
if one of his buddies had relented and joined him after all. He glanced up at a
very tall and striking red-haired guy with a beard and moustache. The man
regarded him.
“Sorry,
I didn’t mean to bump into you.” He chuckled. “Bit crowded tonight.”
The
sound of his voice went right to the end of Austin’s dick. He wouldn’t mind
some of that. Reminding himself that he wasn’t at the Pink Palace, he reined in
his dirty thoughts as much as the booze coursing through his system would
allow.
“It’s
cool.”
Um. Now what.
“Soooo…”
When there was no immediate indicator that a guy was swinging his way, it
always left Austin in a quandary. He needed to be subtle, not act like it was a
come-on in case the dude was as straight as an arrow. “Here with some friends
or by yourself?”
Shit. Like that wasn’t blatant.
His
quarry peered down at him, the redhead’s eyebrows arching. “Uh, yeah. With
friends.”
Wait a minute. I know this guy.
“Hey.
You’re Detective…um…shit…” He tried to get his soaked brain cells to squeeze
out Red’s name.
The
guy snorted. “No, you must have me confused with another Detective Shit.”
