Sheโs a sharp-tongued, rebel P.I. who eats idiots for breakfast. Heโs a sexy bookstore owner who may or may not be a womanizing killer. Then again, nobodyโs perfectโฆ Holly Hillbay is a kick-ass rule breaker with an 80โs jacket-sized chip on her sexy shoulder. Want a piece of her? Get in line, pal. What Holly loves most is her job as a P.I. Bringing in pond scum who cheat on their wives makes her day. Like this guy, Wes Brockman, owner of Books on the Beach. Apparently, heโs slipping between the covers with another manโs wife. Joining Wesโs cozy book club is the perfect way to get close to him and expose him for the lying, cheating, pseudo-intellectual creep that he is. He probably wears a turtleneck and a beret. Or notโฆ
Problem numero uno: Wes Brockman is one seriously sexy hunk of man who fires up Hollyโs dormant libido faster than she can say, โIโll take this in hardcover.โ The guy should come in a home game version. Plus, heโs made it clear that Hollyโs in-your-face attitude is a total turn on. Gulp. Holly doesnโt think Wes is having an affairโnot yet, at least (note to self: bikini waxโฆ)โbut sheโs pretty sure the mysterious, dangerous vibe he gives off is no act. Heโs hiding something, and she intends to find out exactly what it isโฆespecially when one of the book club members is found dead in the storeโs meeting room.
Now, with a page opened to secret identities, blackmail, betrayal, murder, and sex on the beach (the drink) and, well, sex on the beach (not the drink), Hollyโs into a case that is anything but by-the-book and one thatโs riskier, hotter, and more delicious than she ever dreamed possibleโฆ
