Synopsis
Julie Preston
is an artist. But her canvas isn’t paper or clay. It’s hair. She
spends her days coloring, blow drying and styling her clients hair at
the Razor’s Edge salon. Julie is also annoyed. She went out on a
date and had a great time, gave the guy her number and the jerk never
called.
So when he
waltzes into the salon and sits down in her chair she briefly
considers strangling him with the pink cape she fastens around his
neck.
Too bad she
can’t.
Blue Markson,
the guy who never called, is a police officer so causing him bodily
harm would be a first class ticket into the slammer. Just looking at
him again makes Julie forget why she was mad in the first place, but
she’s already learned that Blue is nothing but heartache. So when
he starts coming around, acting like he hadn’t made her stare at
the phone for days, she tries to brush him off.
Only…
Her life is
about to blow up in her face, she’s about to get caught up in a
sticky web of crime and the one guy who can help her is the one guy
she vowed never to trust again.

Excerpt
I leaned back against my padded headboard and tried to calm my rolling stomach. As I sat there, trying not to barf a light sound caught my attention.
It was the closing of the front door.
I perked up, forgetting all about the fact I was suffering from an attack of an unsuspecting hangover.
Had I forgotten to lock the door? I never forgot to lock the door. But I was usually not running from my best friend.
Great.
The one time I don’t lock the damn door is the one time a burglar decides to come a calling.
Too bad for mister criminal I had a plan for something like this. I was the kind of girl that always had a plan.
I crept into the bathroom, being as quiet as I could and reached into the cabinet. I pulled out my weapons (hey, all the crap that women have to do to themselves to look good definitely qualify as weapons.) and gripped them closely to my chest with both hands.
My heart was beating so hard against my ribs that it actually hurt and I had to work to not gasp for breath. Catching my intruder by surprise was key to my plan.
Moving quickly through the dark I moved to the bedroom door, leaning against the wall and peering out into the darkened hallway. I could see the top of the stairs from where I stood, as well as the railing that ran alongside the hallway to keep someone from falling into the stairwell from upstairs.
Courtesy of the nightlight down in the entry way (it came in handy when I wanted a drink in the middle of the night) I saw a shadow move against the wall, the figure was large and distorted against the tall bare wall of the stairwell.
Up until that point I hadn’t been certain someone was in the house.
But now I couldn’t deny it.
There was a robber in my house.
He for sure had nefarious plans.
Too bad for him I had a really shitty night and wasn’t in the mood.
As his foot stepped on the bottom stairs I slinked out of the door and along the wall, keeping my eyes trained on the top of the stairs. He began climbing the stairs (I was very unimpressed with his quietness, or rather lack thereof.) and as he climbed I slipped along the wall, moving through the darkness until I was standing in the corner directly across from the top of the stairs.
I saw his shoulders appear as he continued upwards. He was wearing a dark coat and a dark hat… he was nothing but a large ominous shape in the night.
I swallowed, the sound of my saliva scraping down my dry throat made me wince and my palms were sweaty, causing me to tighten my grip on my weapons.
