A Barrum, Ks Novel

By day, Lynn Broadmore leads a boring life as a mild-mannered bookkeeper, enduring one blind date after another. But by night, she’s “Hush,” webmistress extraordinaire, writing naughty stories for her adoring legion of fan fiction minions.

Now that there’s a new guy working in the next cubicle, though, real life is getting interesting. All Jack has to do is smile, and her insides turn to goo. To her complete surprise, she might even stand a chance against the office bimbo.

Undercover FBI agent Jack Edwards is on the hunt for a serial killer who trolls the Internet for victims. The trail has led to Lynn’s virtual doorstep, and he’s ready to do whatever is necessary to bring the killer down—including using two secret identities to gain her trust. Things get complicated, however, as the goofy fan fiction writer gets under his skin and starts staining his brain—and his heart.

Distractions are something he can’t afford right now…not if he’s going to keep her from getting hurt in what she thinks is a safe, on-line hideaway.

Because between the pixels lurks a murderer.

And he’s chosen Hush, his fantasy girl, as his next target.

Hadrian Drake needs a vacation. As a celebrity chef on Pasta Prince, he’s television royalty. Or so everyone said. Only a few, like his overbearing assistant, knows the truth, that he really is royalty—a prince from the island of Koros. 

And sometimes, even a prince has to get away to Vegas for the weekend. Have some fun. He’s looking for a poker table, not a girl with blue hair. 

But holy hell, she’s mesmerizing. 

Sydney Martinson has to get the hell out of Barrum—especially when her ex will not leave her alone. A trip to Vegas, for a trade show that her work paid for is perfect. Though even in Vegas, she feels eyes on her. 

Then she bumps into the most gorgeous guy she’s ever seen. He awakens parts of her that she thought had died after the divorce. 

Suddenly the trade show isn’t that important, but Hadrian is. Even if he’s a tv celebrity, she feels so good around him. In all the ways. 

Then Hadrian’s assistant tracks him down with dreadful news. One cousin is dead, another is missing. 

Hadrian is the Crown Prince of Koros—the last job in the world he wanted. 

Worse, he and Sydney are next in line on a killer’s list.

Erica Jones doesn’t “do” Christmas, never has, never will.

Not this year. This year, Andrew is on a mission to find Erica’s Christmas spirit.

With him.

Even if he has to drag her, kicking and screaming.
