Blurb:
Detective Austin Michaels didn’t think life could get any better after he was accepted into the most notorious narcotics task force on the East Coast, headed up by two of the baddest’ Lieutenants with the Atlanta Police Department – Cashel Godfrey and Leonidis Day.
Michaels knew he would fit right in as the team’s sniper, having received his fair share of commendations for marksmanship. He was just as badass as the rest of the twenty brothers that made up their team. But when Michaels lets their prime suspect get away from a huge bust with over a quarter of a million dollars in drugs, he’s willing to do whatever it takes to make it right.
Left with no other options, God chooses to bring in outside help, calling on his long-time friend and bounty hunter, Judge Josephson.
Judge was considered one of the best trackers during his enlistment in the United States Marine Corps. After retiring, he used those skills to become one of the most sought out fugitive trackers in the country. When Judge gets a call from his old friend needing his help, he quickly tells God, yes.
Still embarrassed, and intent to prove himself, Michaels immediately volunteers to partner up with Judge to get their suspect back quickly and quietly. Neither man wanted or needed a partner. But, after Judge and Michaels get on the road, the hate/lust relationship they quickly develop between them will either make them heroes… Or get them killed.

Michaels was going to be the death of him. Dude had some serious anger management problems. Judge knew all about those problems. Angry at everything, everyone. He knew he hadn’t helped by blowing up at Michaels for no reason, especially after he’d been so nice to his family. But Michaels had retreated into his rage before Judge could even apologize. He knew the wild detective was pissed but he hadn’t been prepared for what he’d seen when he went into the men’s room. Barely controlled madness. Michaels’ nerves were worn paper-thin. But Judge knew exactly what to do. His cock was pulsing with excitement to do it.
He’d had Michaels where he wanted him, relaxed and compliant against that wall. Until those idiots busted in. Now they were standing there face to face, waiting on two men to finish taking the longest piss in history. Michaels licked his lips, drawing Judge’s attention down to his mouth. He seriously had him reconsidering his firm no kissing rule. He ran the pad of his one thumb along that plump bottom lip, feeling it quiver under his touch. Michaels’ eyes closed briefly, focusing back on him when they opened. That’s right. Eyes on me, gorgeous. He wanted to kiss him. Damnit. Follow the rules. Judge leaned in closer, their breaths mingling. Kissing meant something; a lot could be said with a kiss. Kissing spoke of being cherished and special. He veered to the side and sucked lightly on Michaels’ neck. It was beautiful how he arched to give him more room. He stayed there, licking and tasting until the door closed behind those men. Michaels groaned, used Judge’s belt loops to pull them closer together.
“I didn’t mean to snap at you.” Judge licked beneath Michaels’ ear. “I understand your urges. I truly do. I know the feeling of wanting to hit, to fight until that anger leaves you.” Judge scrubbed his beard against Michaels’ jaw, nuzzling and basking in that scent of fury before he ended with, “I just don’t want you to fight me.”
“I don’t want to fight you,” Michaels confessed. “I don’t want to be angry.”
“I know.”
“I can’t fix it.”
“I can.” Judge winked.
“How?”
“When we get to the hotel I’m going to show you.” Judge unlocked the stall and led them out of the bathroom. He couldn’t get to that damn hotel quickly enough.
When they were back in the truck, Judge couldn’t help but notice how stiff Michaels was next to him. Surely his back was bunched up in knots and his neck was red, like if Judge reached over and touched him, he’d get burned. Although the air conditioning was set on max cold and the interior was cool, Michaels had beads of sweat trickling slowly down his temples into the rough hairs on his chin. He was on the edge, ready to snap. Michaels fidgeted in his seat and gripped the door handle, his knuckles turning white as he squeezed the leather. Bookem whined, sensing Michaels’ stress, rising up on his haunches to stick his head between the seats. Michaels exhaled shakily, reaching over to pat Book’s head.

I just started Nothing Special. I was loving the fun banter thinking this is going to be fun cop mystery/thriller with humor tossed in. Then I got to chapter 3 and cried! I’m guessing with Day in the picture there will still be humor. Can’t wait to read the rest! Thanks so much for the giveaway.
I read one of you books and loved it. I am looking forward to reading this one.
