Yesterday, for the first time since sweet Baby Whimsy arrived, I got to read. Yay! Here is a couple of sneak peaks.

"The dead didn't talk, but if you paid attention, sometimes they did tell you things."

"Just as cop humor is laced with dark understatement, cop tension is also between the lines. The veteran reporter in him could hear it in the silence - the way the room fell quiet when Detective Heat came into the pen and stepped up to address them.

Naked Heat is book two in the Nikki Heat series.
