Blurb: Six months
after starting their hunt for a serial killer who is still at large, FBI agents
Jerry Lee Parker and John Flynn are partners in every sense. But Jerry has
serious doubts about their relationship and whether they would even be together
if not for the way Flynn changed after touching a mysterious artifact in a
museum.
Flynn hates the extraordinary power bestowed on him by the artifact and wants nothing more than to have a normal life again. Jerry fears that without the unusual connection they forged, Flynn will no longer want or need him. Chasing after a similar artifact takes them back to Flynn's old stomping grounds in Washington D.C., where his newfound abilities uncover long-buried secrets, the kind people would kill to protect. But they aren't the only ones looking for these powerful relics, and what they discover will threaten their relationship—and their lives.

This Excerpt is PG-13 for those who care to know :)
Jerry could sympathize. His palms dampened at the idea of
meeting Flynn’s former lover. His former female lover. He wiped his hands
surreptitiously at his sides and wished there was time for him to dash into the
men’s room and straighten his tie or something. If he put his sunglasses back
on now would he look cool or pretentious? Crap. Would anyone noticed if he
stood with his gut sucked in for the rest of this visit? Maybe she’d be a
frumpy librarian type. Oh, who was he kidding? This was Flynn’s ex-girlfriend
he was talking about. She’d be the sexy librarian that would knock your socks
off just by saying hello. The echo of a woman’s shoes on the tiled floor made
him realize she was here and he’d run out of time to make a better impression.
Slowly, he turned to face the woman approaching them. Oddly, when he briefly
caught Flynn’s eye, he looked as reluctant as Jerry felt.
Nancy Glover was absolutely stunning. She couldn’t have
looked better for the ‘run into the old boyfriend’ moment than if she’d planned
for it. Her hair was that vibrant Dana-Scully red that could only come from a
professional colorist, and suddenly Flynn’s remarks about him not dying his
hair that color had a lot more meaning than before. The intense shade
complimented her pale skin and illuminated her green eyes. Of course she would
have green eyes. Dressed in a black pencil skirt and white blouse, she had the
cool demeanor of Agent Scully as well.
“John,” she said, walking up to the counter where Flynn and
Jerry were waiting. “I wasn’t expecting to see you here at the museum. In fact,
I’m surprised you’re in town at all. I would have bet good money that you
weren’t coming in for the reunion.” Her smile was pleasant but cautious, like a
stray cat that wanted to be friendly but wasn’t sure she wasn’t about to get
shoved in a carrier and taken off to the shelter.
The woman behind the desk watched their interaction avidly.
Jerry thought about offering her some popcorn. Flynn glanced at him sharply.
“I’m not here for the reunion.” Had it been anyone else, he
would have sounded curt, but Flynn’s charm didn’t fail him. “I didn’t know you
were working here. Last I heard you were at the Smithsonian.”
She shrugged. “There were cutbacks. You know how it is in a
down economy. To be honest, I prefer working at a smaller museum. Less
bureaucracy.” A real smile cracked her cool exterior. Damn. Under other
circumstances, Jerry suspected he’d like her. She raised a questioning eyebrow
at the two of them. “So what are you doing here? And who’s your friend?”
“My partner, Special Agent Jerry Parker. We had to come to
D.C. on business and I was curious about this trinket box that was listed as
part of the Smithsonian’s collection. How’d it end up here?”
“Come with me, I’ll show it to you. You can go ahead and
close up, Betty. I’ll see them out.” Nancy turned on a glistening black heel
and walked back down the hallway from which she’d come, her shoes clicking
authoritatively as she moved. “As to how it ended up here, the Smithsonian had
no idea what to do with it. It didn’t seem to be particularly valuable and no
one could tell precisely what its origins are. You’re telling me you saw one of
these in California?”
“Yes,” Jerry said, entering the conversation for the first
time. “Though this one appears to be a bit smaller. The designs on the casing
are similar, but not identical.”
Book Three, Truth and
Consequences, will be available in the fall of 2015!
