Excerpt:
“I take care of myself. I don’t need someone to take care of me,” Erin
said.
Will ran a thumb across her pouty bottom lip. He didn’t doubt that she
believed it. That stubborn tilt to her jaw said she was independent and
self-reliant. She was tough, and strong, and he wouldn’t want her any other
way. But God, he just wanted to hold her and care for her for a change.
“Not tonight.”
Her eyes widened at the contact of his fingers along her cheek.
“No?” Her voice dropped to a husky whisper.
“I’m going to kiss you,” he whispered.
Her eyes widened and her lips parted in a small smile. “You are?”
He stroked her hair again, then through the strands until his hand was
at the back of her neck.
“And then, I’m going to push that indecent dress up just a little
higher, and see what you wore for me tonight,” he said, feeling her heart beat
under his fingers.
She swallowed and started to reach for him, but he stilled her hand,
covering it with his. He shifted so he could pull her closer.
“I know it’s something sexy,” he breathed into her neck, then pressed
his lips against the soft skin below her ear. “Lace? Silk?”
Her breath escaped in a rush as he ran his hand down her body, over the
curves that had been tempting him all night. His fingers played with the hem of
the short dress and Erin shifted as his hand moved under the fabric and across
soft, warm skin. His hands roamed higher, up the back of her legs, along the
curve there and moving higher still.
His mouth went dry as he realized the lace and silk he was reaching for
wasn’t there. Instead, his fingers brushed her soft, hot core, making her
squirm against his hand.
“Jesus, Erin,” he breathed.
BLURB:
Erin Grady is used to taking care of people. That’s why she’s thrilled
to finally realize her dream of opening a clinic…and why she’s willing to
overlook where the money came from—until a determined prosecutor comes sniffing
around.
Will
Patton is desperate to leave the small fogbound town of Lost Coast Harbor and
build a real career for himself. But to do that, he’ll need to expose the dirty
police chief—and betray the woman who makes him wonder if he’s leaving town too
soon.
But the
corruption in Lost Coast Harbor runs deep and wide—and exposing the truth will
require Erin and Will to expose their hearts…no matter the risk.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Like so many good ideas, Lost
Coast Harbor was inspired by a few rounds of margaritas. One sunny afternoon,
Lily Danes and Eve Kincaid went to a Mexican restaurant for snacks and tequila
and left with the idea for a new series. Inspired by their love of noir movies
and 1940s crime novels, they imagined a gritty small town full of crime and
corruption, where intrigue and mystery can lead to love and passion.
Eve Kincaid is a lapsed lawyer
who decided that fictional crime was more fun than the real deal. When she’s
not writing about mysterious women and the dangerous and sexy men who love
them, she’s probably shopping for books, lipstick, or imported cheeses to
complement a nice California pinot noir.
You can keep up with Eve’s new
releases by signing up for her reader newsletter. She’d love to hear from you.
Just don’t be creepy about it.
