Savage Deception Book Jacket Blurb:
Busy juggling loan sharks and Amber Alerts,
Detective Nickie Savage makes time when the FBI seeks her expertise with a
child trafficking ring. But when Nickie discovers that the men running the ring
are the same ones who abducted her as a young teen, the case gets personal.
Risking her badge, Nickie goes rogue. Luckily,
she has Duncan Reed, along with his wire tapping and surveillance expertise.
But Duncan also wants to take their relationship to the next level.
Now, Nickie must choose: break her own rules and
risk her heart or forge ahead alone.
Savage Deception excerpt:
“This is our hotel.” Those were the only four
words Nickie had spoken since Duncan picked her up at Vegas Metro. He’d
expected her to be shaken after the day she’d had. He didn’t expect her to be
shaking.
Heading
for the elevator, he realized they were retiring to their room as the rest of
the town was beginning their evenings. He heard them before the elevator
arrived. Loud, drunk and male. The doors slid open to a small group of young
men. They reeked of marijuana and alcohol. One did a double take at Nickie.
“The cop
stripper!” he slurred. “I got your card in here somewhere.” He patted his
pockets.
Nickie
wore what she usually did. Button-down blouse, this one raspberry-pink, and
black slacks … both tighter than most wear. She was never afraid to use her
sexuality when it suited her. Her black boots had heels. Her gun was secured on
her belt, along with her badge and cuffs.
Duncan
saw it all through an angry haze of red.
The one
patting his pockets took out some cash. The others whistled as they pulled out
more bills.
Duncan
stepped in front of Nickie.
“Come
on, dude. Share!” they boy said to Duncan.
He
wasn’t sure whose arm it was, but before he knew it a hand cupped her breast.
As quickly as the arm reached her, Nickie twisted and had it wrenched behind
the man’s back. “That’s assaulting a police officer you stupid piece of shit.”
Her voice was eerily calm.
“Hey!”
another one defended, landing a hand on her shoulder. Duncan took it, bending
it back until he heard a crack. The boy bellowed in pain as his friends stepped
in to help.
Fists
flew and heads bobbed. They were drunk and young. That excuse wasn’t going to
help them. Duncan ducked easily taking two down with solid hooks as he heard
the soft heels of the security officer running toward them.
