Synopsis:
Dying isn’t what it used to be.
Wes Cooper was dead. Then he wasn’t—though he’s not
exactly alive, either. As an immortal not-ghost, he can transition between this
world and the otherplane, which makes him the perfect thief for hire. For
seventy years he’s made a “living” returning items to their rightful owners,
seeing his fair share of the bizarre in the process. But he’s never witnessed
murder. Until now.
His latest mission brings him more than he bargained for:
a very-dead actor who is definitely going to stay that way. It’s just Wes’s
luck that his ex-boyfriend, Detective Hudson Rojas, is assigned to the case.
Hudson broke Wes’s heart years ago—and could again, given he’s rocking a hot
silver-fox look that shouldn’t be legal.
As they work together to track down the murderer before
anyone else gets hurt, it becomes clear Wes and Hudson have unfinished
business. And when a secret Hudson’s been keeping threatens more than just
their happiness, it might mean the end of their not-life together—permanently.
Release Blitz Excerpt:
It seemed like I’d
barely closed my eyes before something woke me. Thuds on my door. I thought for
a second it might be Lexi again, but she never knocked on my door like that,
all authoritative and belligerent. I flung the blankets away from my face long
enough to yell, “You’ve got the wrong apartment!” before diving back into my
fluff pile.
The bursts of
heavy knocks slid into something more rhythmic, an indication that whoever was
at my door had settled in for the long haul. I kicked the blankets off with
severe prejudice. Who the fuck made that kind of noise at—I squinted at the
clock—midnight? I scrambled out of bed and marched to the front door, bouncing
off a doorjamb on my way. And banging my knee on the end table. And almost tripping
over the edge of the throw rug.
I did not function
well without sufficient sleep. I also did not think clearly, or else I might
have checked the peephole in the door before flinging it open with a harried,
“What?”
Hudson stood there
in dark jeans and a black leather bomber jacket open over a plain gray T-shirt,
revealing his badge on a chain. His gun sat on his hip, an unusual choice for
him, and his hair was…not mussed, but definitely not as styled as when he wore a
suit. Five o’clock shadow peppered his jaw, silver glinting among the darker
shades.
“You’re not
wearing a suit,” I observed. Call me Captain Obvious.
“Night off,” he
said distractedly, his gaze traveling from my head down…down…down. The tip of
his tongue emerged to wet his lips. “You’re not wearing clothes.”
I jerked my gaze
away from him to look at myself and—yep, naked. “Christ,” I muttered, and
darted back toward the bedroom.
