Perfectly Twisted
Author: Kristine Mason
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Book Description:
What do
you get when you mix a snake-handling reverend, a necrophiliac, a cop and an
ex-con? Something perfectly twisted…
Sound like
the start of a bad joke? Not to Shane Monahan. The ex-con and newest recruit to
the underground criminal investigation group, A.T.L. or Above the Law, has it
bad for Collier County Deputy Beth Price. But ex-cons and cops don’t mix,
especially when this particular ex-con is looking at going back to prison for
his involvement with A.T.L.
All Beth
wants is a fun distraction from the stress of her job and law school. She
thinks she's found that when she meets Shane during an airboat tour through the
Florida Everglades. But Shane’s a felon, a man who could destroy her career as
a deputy, and jeopardize her future as an attorney. She doesn’t know what to
do—until dead bodies start showing up around the county.
When three
abused corpses are found with snake remains inside them, the discovery brings a
murderer out of retirement. The Reverend, as he calls himself, doesn’t like his
kills being mimicked, especially by a man who abuses the dead—after all, the
Reverend does have a reputation to uphold and a congregation to scam. Now it’s
time to teach his copycat a deadly lesson…

Excerpt
Before Vlad dug himself into a deep
hole, Shane touched Beth’s arm and motioned toward the wooden ramp leading to
the dock. “Don’t mind Vlad,” he said, once they’d distanced themselves from the Russian.
“It’s kind of hard not to when the
man said that you’d like to kiss me on the boat.”
“That’s not what he said.”
She stopped when they reached the
dock. “That’s what I heard.”
Damn it. He was going to have to
have a serious conversation with his brother about Vlad. “I apologize if Vlad made you
uncomfortable. I never told him I wanted to kiss you. Vlad has a thing for the
Kiss song Beth. He also does this weird thing with peoples’ names. He calls my
brother Captain Ryan, and my future sister-in-law Asian Lola.”
“Why does he call her that?”
“Because she’s Asian.”
Beth laughed. “Isn’t Vlad the master
of the obvious? I love it. Okay, so Vlad nicknamed me Kiss Beth and you don’t
want to kiss me. Gotcha.”
“I didn’t say that.” Smooth,
Monahan. Screw it. He wanted to see her away from the boat shop, take her out
to dinner, find out more about her and, yes, kiss her.
When her lips tilted in a sexy
smile, he relaxed. She turned and climbed onto the airboat, then settled on the
cushioned bench seat. “For the record, I wouldn’t turn down a kiss from you,”
she said, and reached for the headphones used to block the loud sound of the
airboat.
Maybe not right now, but once Beth
found out about his past, she would probably run in the other direction. What
woman would want to kiss a convicted murderer?
