by
D.W. Brooks
Genre:
Romantic Suspense, Contemporary Fiction
A
dead body in the parking lot of her family’s business, a killer on
the loose, and a handsome detective asking a lot of questions…
Jamie
Scott’s life fell apart four years ago when she broke off her
engagement, turned down a dream job, and went overseas to run away
from her life. Now she’s back, but the reunion is not without
problems. She arrives home just in time to attend the soiree her
mother planned, but she’s not prepared for what she finds—a dead
employee in the parking lot.
Detective Nick Marshall is
assigned to the murder case at the forensics lab owned by Jamie’s
family. He meets the headstrong Jamie, but he has a job to do. And
his attraction to her… well, he’s a professional.
Jamie
knows the stakes are high. She has to face the past and save her
parents’ business while dealing with her family drama and an
uncertain future. She also has to deal with Nick, who wants her out
of the way of his investigation. But fate keeps throwing them in one
another’s paths… and into chaos that they both want to avoid, but
neither can seem to escape.

Jamie entered the simply appointed room decorated in blue, white, and seafoam green. The attached bathroom incorporated blue and white colors. Jamie sat on the edge of the bed and looked around the room. Since she never lived here, the room didn’t hold many personal touches, as did Jon’s and Jillian’s rooms. There were plenty of pillows, a complete set of cherry wood bedroom furniture, and a mid- sized flat-screen TV above the chest of drawers. It represented a fitting guest room since she was now a guest—a nervous guest at that. What if her mother verbally eviscerated her again? Could she deal? Jamie realized she was delaying her meeting with her mom for as long as possible. What else could she do to kill time?
She peeked in the closet to see if she had left any clothes behind from four years ago. Unfortunately, she found nothing that would be appropriate for what would be a formal event on Sunday night.
She went into the bathroom and removed her baseball cap to inspect the state of her hair in the mirror. I was fine for a quiet home visit, but not for a dressy affair. Jamie had let her relaxer grow out while she was out of the country. She typically flat-twisted her natural hair to emphasize the wave pattern. Before this trip, she had only washed, conditioned, and air-dried her hair, thinking that she would have some time after her arrival to moisturize and comb it. Now, it was just squashed down by her hat. Ugh. Since she wouldn’t be able to prep before talking to her mother, she would have to atone by looking her best for the party. For such a formal affair, she would have to visit a salon for a trim and style.
There was a knock on the bedroom door. “Come in!” Jamie yelled as she tucked her cap back onto her head and came out of the bathroom. Jon placed her bags inside her door. “Mother is waiting for you downstairs. I’m going to my room to avoid the tearful reunion.” He didn’t live there anymore but still called his childhood room “his room”.
Jamie sighed. Time to woman up. “OK. Let me wash my face, and I’ll be down. Where is she, exactly?” she inquired.
“Still in the study. Good luck.”
