Welcome to the Weird, the Wild, & the Wicked for a new year of Mid Week Tease hosted by Sandra Bunino.
Authors: this is a great opportunity to spotlight a few lines or even a paragraph or two from a new release or backlisted title. Readers: you get to sample some delicious snippets! We’ll do our best to tease, titillate and tantalize you into the weekend.
My Mid Week Tease is from my upcoming release Bronco's Rough Ride, the prequel to The Navy's Ghost. Chief Petty Officer John "Bronco" Andrews is just trying to get from Virginia to California to resume his duty as a Navy SEAL for Team 9, Bravo Squad. But someone slips drugs into his drink and he winds up tied to a slab in a cell somewhere. Detective Lindsey Jarvis is undercover as the Black Widow of Vegas in Madame LeBeau's reverse sex ring and she'll be damned before she loses Bronco.
“Are you sure you wish that one? So few have been interested
in him because he’s short and hairy.” Madame LeBeau grimaced as she scanned the
man’s docile body. “We thought of shaving him, but there is just so much of
it.”
Lindsey Jarvis let her gaze rest on the monitors of the
bound man and forced her expression to remain serene. Outrage burned through
her veins at the treatment of men in general, but specifically this serviceman
from one of the armed forces. The bitch
must have slipped him a real Mickey to bring him down. Even in modern day
2004, sometimes the oldest tricks worked best for manipulation of the strong.
“I want him. He reminds me of my father.” Thank God the man
looked nothing like her father. Let the creepy madam think she had daddy issues.
“But he’s much better built than the old man and I’d like to see how muscles
like that feel.” That at least was true. Her last boyfriend had had the muscles
of a marshmallow.
Of course, the last time she’d had a boyfriend was two years
ago, when she’d first started this undercover assignment for the Las Vegas
Metro PD. She currently played the part of the “not quite grieving” widow of a
doctor who’d died under mysterious circumstances just to get into this room
with Madame LeBeau. Two years of deep undercover work took its toll on real
life relationships.
“What is his name?”
“You can give him whatever name you wish, Ms. Black. Our
products are easily modified for your pleasure.”
God, the smile on LeBeau’s face soured Lindsey’s stomach.
“Yes, well, it’s easier to keep his attention when you have a name.
“Ah, I see.” Madame LeBeau gave her a faint, but knowing
smile. “I think we can accommodate you.” She glanced down at her computer
screen, clicking with the mouse. “His name is John.”
Bronco's Rough Ride will be available everywhere on March 21, 2014!
