Romance Suspense | Mystery Woman Sleuth

Christina McMullen, cocktail-waitress-turned-psychologist, finds herself embroiled in another murder involving L.A. homicide detective, Jack Rivera. Fate plays nasty tricks on Christina. At every attempt to date the gorgeous hunk, a crime occurs to thwart their hot date. Their latest interruption occurs in the mist of a heated encounter, when Jack receives word to meet his father. Not being the most trusting person in the world, Christina follows him to his father's home. At her arrival, she finds Jack, face down on the floor, handcuffed and accused of murdering his father's fiancée, Salina.

Ignoring Jack's warning to stay away, Christina digs into Salina's background. She uncovers a broken engagement between Jack and Salina with his father waiting in the wings to romance Salina. Christina thought her family was a dysfunctional mess, but Jack's makes hers look normal compared to the anger and built-up resentment simmering amongst the Rivera family. But Christina can't walk away. Instead, she searches out Salina's enemies as she tries to prove that Jack is innocent.

Get ready for a tale that crackles with high energy and a plot that never lets up. Christina and Jack sizzle in their scenes together as they strive to have one normal date. Murder, love and laughter are perfectly blended in UNSCREWED, the third book in this sassy mystery series.

SUMMARY

L.A. homicide detective Jack Rivera has a killer body, a wicked smile, and a velvet touch. Just ask Christina McMullen. The cocktail-waitress-turned-psychologist has handled obsessed patients, love-struck drunks, and her own guilt-tripping mother with aplomb. But when it comes to the lieutenant, Chrissy has an old-fashioned case of irresistible attraction—until things turn fatal when Rivera is accused of murder! Not only was Rivera found unconscious next to a dead woman, but the victim was his beautiful ex-girlfriend—who left Rivera for his wealthy dad. Chrissy detects a few father-and-son issues—along with plenty of evidence that her would-be boyfriend is guilty. But when she starts looking into the dead woman’s past, a rich senator’s connections, and Rivera’s relationship with his mother, will she discover there’s hope for her and Rivera after all? Or will her curiosity have deadly consequences?
