About the book:
It should have been a routine investigation. Instead, DEA K-9 agent Adam “Deck” Decker watches in horror as one Denver hospital seems to be Ground Zero for overdoses of a new drug. Now Deck can only hope a certain icy, green-eyed ER doctor will help him and his canine partner track down the deadly source.
Dr. Tori Sampson has her reasons for not trusting federal agents, especially ones working for the DEA. But the rash of overdoses—including a heartbreaking case involving a teen—is alarmingly high. And the new opioid is not only extremely dangerous, it defies all the usual medical treatments. So Tori has a choice: work with the big, brawny, and annoyingly hot DEA agent…or watch more innocent people die.
Tori’s the only person who can help Deck break the case, and they’ll need to trust each other, no matter how high the tension and attraction sizzling between them runs. But with every question answered, they realize there’s something more behind these typical teen overdoses. There’s a pattern here, and a pattern can only suggest one thing. There’s a killer on the loose.

Teaser excerpt
Myles went outside to the deck.
Farther down, Holland stood with her back toward him, leaning her hands on the wide railing.
She stared ahead, perfectly still.
Maybe he was disturbing her.
He turned to go back inside.
“You don’t have to leave.” Her voice reached Myles before he opened the door.
He’d needed air, partly because of her. Even when he hadn’t been looking at Holland, he’d been aware of her presence across the table. Clearing his head before rejoining the group had been the plan.
But leaving would be rude. And honestly, he didn’t want to.
As he reached Holland, the scent of her perfume, soft and sweet, wafted in the air.
He glanced at her at the same time she looked at him. She’d refreshed her lip color. The shade reminded him of a lush, ripe plum. Suddenly, a longing stirred inside of him to press his mouth to hers for a taste of their promising sweetness.
Not trusting himself to resist doing just that, he moved a fraction away from her. What was wrong with him? He usually had more control than this. And it wasn’t like he’d never been around a pretty woman before.
Myles lightly gripped the railing. He released a breath and a small chuckle. “I really messed up this afternoon, didn’t I?”
“Yes, you did.” A hint of a teasing smile signaled she wasn’t going to make this easy on him.
“But I have a good excuse.”
“Oh really?” She turned toward him. “And what would that be?”
“A few weeks ago, a group of kids nearly started a fire in the back of the house. When I saw you, I thought…” Myles searched for the right words.
She laughed. “You thought I was there to cause trouble?”
“Yeah, something like that.” He faced her. “But you really should take some of the responsibility off my shoulders. You could have straightened out the situation by telling me who you were and why you were there.”
“I was too afraid.” Humor shone in her eyes. “You threatened to tattle on me to my parents.”

Cori Ross is thanking her lucky stars. Sure, her long-time boyfriend just dumped her, but that’s a good thing. In her rush to find Mr. Right, she realizes she almost settled for Mr. Just Okay. And that’s definitely not okay. So, tonight, she’s out with her friends at the Breakup Bash—a private party for women celebrating their break-ups—and she’s actually celebrating. Still, it was too close a call. So she makes a deal with herself—no guys for six months.
Unfortunately, just as she’s leaving the club, she runs into her old boyfriend, Grey Latham—the guy she’d always wanted to be Mr. Right. Great. What a time to swear off guys. Maybe she needs to change the deal—no relationships for six months. There’s no reason why she can’t have a fling, right? Because Grey still holds the title of the best sex she’s ever had.
There’s no way this could go wrong. Grey is on his way to international DJ fame—he’s only in town for a short time, and then he’ll be gone again. No harm in burning up the sheets while it lasts.
Too bad neither expected what happened next…
Each book in the Breakup Bash series is STANDALONE:
