Produktbeschreibung

Jubal Graham is back on the job after a shooter put him into a coma. Determined to have justice, Jubal is focused on finding a killer, not a new romantic entanglement. With his smoldering blue eyes and denim-clad swagger, Ellis Banks is a distraction Jubal can't afford - or ignore.

Ellis Banks came to Philadelphia to bust a drug operation; one that connects to the same case agency legend Kentuckian Jubal Graham is working. Ellis finds himself drawn to Jubal and mounts a determined siege.

Jubal's surprise at having a suitor quickly develops into a growing affection for Ellis, but first things first. He's a target and so is anyone close to him. He needs to keep Ellis at arm's length until he makes an arrest.

Ellis has a different plan.

"Will you go out with me, Jubal?"

Persistence was a good thing for a drug enforcement agent to have, but I wasn't sure I liked his directed at me. I wasn't sure I didn't like it, either. It was certainly different to be on this side of the pursuit.

"Why did you come to my house last night?"

Ellis looked away as a flush crept up his neck. "I needed to know if your boyfriend lived with you."

I clamped down on my temper. He was out of line, and his eyes said he knew how far. I counted to five before I responded. "He's not my boyfriend. Don't do it again. If he sees you dogging me, it'll scare him."

"Like I'm scaring you, Jubal?"

"You're not scaring me."

"Oh, the hell I'm not." Ellis leaned back in his chair. "Okay. We'll do it the old southern way. Even straights say a year is enough to mourn. You can play the reluctant widower for another two months. I'll let you. Then you go out with me."

"Boy, you don't know anything about me."

"Wrong. You were all anyone talked about when I transferred in. I took notes."

"You're an arrogant rip, aren't you?"

Ellis grinned as he stood and stretched. He looked down at me, his expression pure insolence.

"Takes one to know one, Agent Graham."

Autorenporträt

KC Kendricks calls herself an accidental writer. After completing her first novel writing as Rayne Forrest, she was urged to submit it to a publisher, and everything snowballed from there. Today, the author has had over seventy books published.

In July of 2021, she tried to retire but her employer offered her a deal to work at home. She accepted. Now she balances work, writing, and hearth and home in a controlled chaos.

A native of scenic western Maryland, the author enjoys most activities that don't include snow. In warm weather she might be found walking the dog, biking on the C&O Canal towpath, planting delicacies in her garden for the deer to munch on at night, playing in the creek, or lazing on the patio with her Kindle reader or laptop.

She recently began to research her family history and can't drive past a cemetery without stopping to search for family sites. Her mission is to photograph old tombstones before the elements erode the stones and the names are lost to time.
