FIRST DO NO EVIL

Romance Suspense

Dr. Skylar Novak is not a fan of Halloween. When she was 17, she came home to find her father murdered and she herself was brutally attacked. Her brother saved her, killing their father's murdered. It took Skylar several years to recover from her father's murder, but she has become a successful physician and is running a free clinic in Flagstaff. And she's finally found love.

On a fateful Halloween Saturday, Skylar, her brother Garth, fiancΓ© Edmond, police detective Danny Benson, and pregnant waitress Nevaeh are all in Jolene's Diner when a gunman walks in. Everything changes in an instant -- Edmond is killed, Danny is gravely injured and Skylar is forced to face things she thought she had left in the past.

Months after the shooting, Danny stops by to see Skylar and asks a few questions about the shooting. His questions start to unravel a web of secrets that some would rather keep hidden. Danny starts digging and once Skylar is presented with enough evidence, she can't help but start to investigate herself; no matter what she uncovers.

FIRST DO NO EVIL is a first rate thriller, with plenty of twists and the surprises just keep coming. Carey Baldwin keeps you guessing right to the end and there is plenty of sizzle between Danny and Skylar to up the heat to boot.

SUMMARY

There's a killer lurking in Dr. Skylar Novak's family tree: the gene for breast cancer. That's why her brilliant brother invented the Bella vaccine. But even if the miracle drug protects her from the cancer that took her mother's life, it can't save Sky from the flesh and bone evil stalking her in secret. When the killer strikes, detective Daniel Benson finds himself in the wrong place at the right time. The bold detective manages to save Sky's life...just in time for her to return the favor. Survival leads to seduction, and Danny risks everything—his career, even his life, to keep Sky safe. But will the buried sins they uncover cost him her heart? Danny's strong arms may hold her close, but only Sky can stop the terror that's coming next... Warning: Contents include: One heart–melting hero—good luck getting this delicious detective out of your head. One reluctant heroine—wielding a Glock was never on her to–do list. One crazed villain—an entire flock of baa baa black sheep won't be enough to put you to sleep. And a lifesaving vaccine with one deadly side effect—murder.
