TIED
BOND
Release
Day February 25th
Holly Woods is going to hell in a
handbasket—but this time, Satanists aren’t to blame. Halloween is.
Nonna doesn’t understand why there are
skeletons and demons everywhere. Mom is threatening to stitch a devil into Nonna’s
pillowcase if she doesn’t shut up. Bek is bumbling over a date with Jason, the
handsome FBI agent who conveniently got himself relocated to Austin, and I…
Well. I’m considering running away to a town without the crazies.
Nothing new here.
Everything is going smoothly—too
smoothly—and I can’t shake the feeling that something is about to happen. Drake
insists I’m being paranoid… But when a body turns up at the Holly Woods
Halloween party, we have a whole lot more than a murderer to worry about.
Because the prime suspect is his mom.
And it’s my job to prove she’s innocent.
(Tied
Bond is the fourth full-length book in the Holly Woods Files series and does
not stand alone.)

EXCERPT:
“Kellie! You put-a that-a devil-a down!”
“It’s not a devil, Liliana. It’s
a demon. Once that will find its way into your bedroom if you don’t get. Off.
Of. It!”
I fold my arms across my chest
and lean against the front door. Have you ever seen an elderly Italian woman
and a fifty-something year old woman playing tug of war with a decorative
demon? No?
Lucky you.
“I do not-a care! It is-a not-a
going on-a my-a house-a!”
“It’s my house!” Mom yells. “You
haven’t paid rent for ten years!”
My eyes widen. Oh boy. Here we
go.
“I no need-a pay-a rent! I
cook-a, I clean-a! That-a is-a my rent!”
“You clean the kitchen, you crazy old lady!”
Nonna gasps, her hand flying to
her chest in dramatic horror. “I am-a not-a crazy!”
“You’re so crazy you’re lucky
you’re not in a home!”
“Noella!” Nonna spins, pointing
a wrinkled finger in my direction. “Am-a I crazy?”
Way to put a girl on the spot, Nonna. “Well…” I say the word slowly.
“Crazy is a strong word…”
“Ah-ha!”
“But then again, so is normal.”
“Noella!”
“What? You asked, I answered.”
She sniffs and pulls her light
wrap around her shoulders. “Why-a you-a here? Don’t you-a have-a to feed-a your
man?”
“No. He’s working.”
“Ah-ha! I will-a call-a Drake
and report this… This-a merda!”
Mom staggers back, her jaw
dropped. “Liliana! That language is not appropriate!”
“Neither is-a your-a demons!”
Nonna finally manages to wrench the demon away from Mom and waves it
enthusiastically. “Pah!”
Then, to Mom’s undisguised
horror, she throws it onto the ground. My eyebrows shoot up, and I step to the
side as Nonna storms toward me. Well, as quickly as an old woman with a cane
can storm, that is.
“Liliana! You pick that up right
now!”
“No! I call-a the police-a!”
Nonna frowns and waves her cane in Mom’s direction. “You-a disturb-a the
peace!” She turns and shuffles into the house.
“She’s not actually going to…
Never mind,” I say, hearing her yell down the phone. Yep, she’s actually
calling the police station.
That’s a new one, even for the
Bonds.
“She’s crazy!” Mom’s face is
bright red as she bends forward to pick up the demon Nonna defiled with dirt.
“She needs putting in a home!”
“You’d need to get her sedated
before you try that.” I straighten a pumpkin Nonna apparently knocked over.
“Just put the demons somewhere she can’t see them and then the problem is
solved.”
“Oh yes?” Mom raises her
eyebrows then pulls out a giant cloaked figure. “What do I do with Lucifer?”
I stare at the five-foot tall
devil decoration that usually spends the holiday hanging on the tree at the
bottom of the yard. Its motion-sensor makes it moan every time you walk past
it, and the long robes are forever getting caught on the bush beneath the tree.
“Mom, you might give her a heart attack if you hang him this year.”
“Good,” she mutters. “I might
get some peace, then.”
Twisted Bond:
I’m an Italian-Texan woman in a family full
of cops. I’m passionate and shoot before I think. You only f*ck with me if
you’re stupid.
Photograph cheating spouses. Hand over the
evidence. Cash my check.
That was my plan when I returned home to
Holly Woods, Texas, and became a private investigator.
Finding the dead body in my dumpster? Yeah…
Given the choice, I think I would have opted out of that little discovery,
especially since all three of my brothers are cops. And my Italian grandmother
is sure the reason I’m single is because of my job.
Of course, my connection to the victim is
entirely coincidental. Until I’m hired by her husband to investigate her murder
and shoved bang-smack into the path of Detective Drake Nash.
My nemesis, a persistent pain in my ass,
and one hell of a sexy son of a bitch.
Shame he still holds a grudge from that
time I shot him in the foot twelve years ago, or we could have something. In
another life.
So now all I have to do is avoid my nonna’s
blind dates, try not to blackmail my brothers into giving me confidential
police files, and absolutely do not point my gun at Drake Nash. Or kiss him. Or
jump his bones.
All while I hunt down the killer.
Sounds totally simple—until a second body
proves that sometimes things that start as coincidences don’t always end up
that way…
(Twisted Bond is book one of the Holly
Woods Files series and while it does not end in a cliffhanger, it is not a
standalone.)

TANGLED BOND (Holly Woods Files, #2)
One date with the sexier-than-sin Detective
Drake Nash. Simple.
Until you take into account that my brother
finally proposed to his girlfriend, so Nonna is on a warpath—and the crazy old
bat has Cupid by the balls.
The upcoming mayoral elections has everyone
running on full speed, and while I couldn’t give any less craps about the
corrupt Holly Woods mayor’s office, a dead body in the middle of a campaign
speech has me thrown right into the middle of it. The victim is close to the
mayor, but all he cares about is minimizing the damage to his campaign, so he
hires me to work alongside Drake to close the case as quickly as possible.
Bad news for our tentative relationship.
We disagree far more than we agree, but
being at loggerheads won’t get this murder solved… Or deal with the arrival of
someone from his past.
The mysteries behind the murder aren’t the
only things unraveling, and despite being knee-deep in lies and corruption and
bonds so tangled they’re almost indecipherable, I have to figure out if I’m
willing to fight for Drake the way I do justice…
Or if he’ll be my one who gets away.

TETHERED BOND
Detective Drake Nash: hot, alpha, bossy,
and… mine.
Now, if someone could tell his ex that... I
don’t care if the summer fayre is coming to Holly Woods and she’s on the
planning committee. What I do care about is sugar-filled food, bright lights,
late nights… and danger. The type that won’t come in the form of Nonna’s new
cantankerous British parrot, Gio. (Please see the damage done to Mom’s new
curtains.)
Unfortunately, when the danger comes, it
comes in the form of something Holly Woods has never seen. The town is rocked
to its core, and once again, I’m in danger. Only this time, it isn’t because of
my clients—this time, I’m in danger because of who I am… Because of my
heritage.
And despite the HWPD’s best efforts, the
bodies keep on piling up.
Drake’s determined to protect me. I’m
determined that I can do it myself.
Danger. Mystery. Darkness. Malice.
It’ll be a miracle if any of us make it out
of this with guns unfired, cupcakes still frosted, and hearts intact…
