Fancy a Shakedown?
I have the lovely Michelle Roth with me today...
Over to you, Michelle
Diamond and Diamond is a bit
of a departure from anything that I've written thus far. My previous works have
all been ultra-realistic contemporary romance. Shakedown still has the sexy,
steamy elements just like any other erotic romance, but it also incorporates a
bit of suspense and mystery as well. I certainly hope you enjoy!
(Blurb:)
Private Detective Mike Diamond is the low man on the
totem pole. More often than not he finds himself investigating insurance fraud
or cheating spouses. When he's assigned a dog-napping case, he is on the brink
of refusing until he meets the client. One look at her changes everything.
When the police refuse to investigate her case,
Cassidy Werner turns to Diamond and Diamond Private Investigators. Despite the
bad first impression he's given her, Cassidy still hires Mike to help her find
her prize Tibetan Mastiff. As she gets to know him, she realizes that he's not
only dedicated to getting Roddy back for her, but also a pretty great guy.
Right after she receives a ransom demand, things begin
to heat up between them. Will Mike be able to crack the case and save her dog?
And if he can, does that mean that he gets the girl too?
(Excerpt:)
He was relieved to
find the lobby was empty, so he stopped back at Lara's desk and asked, “Can you
believe that shit? A dog napping?”
He didn't think for
a minute she hadn't overheard every word. That woman was like the KGB and
Secret Service all in one. Anything happened in this office, she had it under
immediate surveillance.
Lara cuffed him on
the arm and said, “She's in the bathroom, idiot.”
Mike winced, feeling
bad he'd probably been overheard. But, seriously, who hired a PI to find a lost
dog?
Seconds later, the
bathroom door slowly opened. He almost did a double take as the woman stepped
out. Aside from red eyes that had clearly been crying, she was a looker.
She was elegantly
dressed and somewhere near his age, with a riot of auburn curls trailing down
her back, like some sort of mermaid siren. All ripe, lush curves. He'd always
liked his women soft.
And, he was ogling
this obviously distraught woman like she was a steak. Not that he wouldn't be
more than interested in taking a bite, but it was clear that now wasn't the
time. So instead of voicing his thoughts, he stuck his hand out and said, “Mike
Diamond. And you are?”
“Cassidy Werner,” she
said, not bothering to stick her hand out.
Well, apparently
she'd heard him. He'd need to apologize, if the look on her face was any
indication. He dropped his hand and said, “My office is this way.”
She gave him a look
that screamed 'You're on thin ice, buddy'
but moved toward the open office door that Mike had gestured to. He followed
her, once again appreciating the hourglass waist and full hips. Damn.
He moved behind his desk and gestured to one of the worn
chairs. When she had settled in, he asked, “So I understand your dog has been
kidnapped?”
(About Me:)
Michelle Roth is a novelist
from the Great White North (Toronto, ON). When she’s not disappearing into
foreign lands, or making two perfect strangers that she invented fall in love,
she’s probably curled up somewhere with a glass of wine and a good book.
In
her spare time she is typically hanging out with her awesome boyfriend and
their two equally awesome cats. She likes taking road trips to nowhere in
particular, cooking elaborate meals then making other people do the dishes, and
being nerdy on the internet. Her books are currently available on Amazon, Nook,
Kobo, and any other place that sells absolutely filthy romance novels.
