This week's post is from Midwinter
Crises, book one of the Capital City Seasons series available from Ellipses
Press, Ltd. Today, I'm showing a glimpse of Jess and Murph's first meeting.
Series Tagline:
High stakes adrenaline and hot romance are an explosive combination.
Book Tagline: When
a madman wants to blow up the city during the Midwinter holiday, it's just
another day on the job for Ben and Jess.

A little set-up--Murph explained how he talked a drug-crazed
man out of his violent fit of rage and impresses Jess.
Doubly impressed now, she had to
shake her head. "So you put yourself on the hot seat. Interesting."
She let her gaze peruse him, traveling from his feet upward to his face.
"You don't look like you have a death wish."
Ben chuckled in response. "I
don't. Trust me." He pivoted around, stepped closer to her. "Unless
it would convince you to have dinner with me?" Lowered so only she could
hear, his voice sent sexy shivers down her spine.
Jess made sure she kept her jaw
from dropping. Still clad in full riot gear and this too handsome for his own
good guy wanted to have dinner with her?
A guy who didn't wilt under
pressure, put himself in the line of fire and still maintained a clean, crisp
and dare she think it—fresh—appearance in ninety degree heat had to have something
wrong with him.
Maybe he went for chicks in
black? Or women who carried powerful weapons on the job.
And maybe she should just respond
to his offer already.
Shrugging, she accepted his
invitation. "Dinner's good." She had a way to discover if Murph was
as unflappable as he appeared. "But only if I get to pick the place."
She stood up and flipped open one of the pockets on her vest.
