He's an ex-cop. She's an ex-wife. And they're both out for revenge on the same man.... When pampered former cheerleader Feenie Malone takes a job writing fluff pieces for her South Texas paper, she has no idea she's about to stumble into a juicy news story that could launch her career - if it doesn't get her killed first. Almost as soon as she breaks out her press pass, she crosses paths with Marco Juarez, the macho PI obsessed with solving his sister's murder. The information he has might be the perfect lead - but his dangerously sexy looks could be a deadly distraction. Juarez has zero patience for reporters, especially mouthy blond ones. But with the evidence pointing to Feenie's ex-husband, Marco thinks she could be useful. Confident he can keep her on a tight leash, he lets her in on his investigation. He quickly discovers he's underestimated his new partner, as well as the danger they both face. Now he must protect her - to the very last breath.

2007As a former reporter, Laura still loves to interview people to help bring her stories to life. Before writing a book, she does research first, because she thinks that it is one of the best aspects of being a writer. Usually, Laura makes field trips to crime labs and law enforcement agencies to find ideas for people and settings. Every book for her is always a new adventure.
Quotations: "Readers always ask me where I get story ideas. I got my start as a newspaper reporter, and often my inspiration comes from current events. I’m constantly skimming headlines and asking myself, “What if…?”"
Laura grew up reading Nancy Drew books, and as she grew older, Stephen King and Patricia Cornwell.
