The Last Execution
By
Jerrie Alexander
Release Date: June 7th, 2013
Blurb:
To survive, she must put the past behind her. To love, she must
learn to trust.
Homicide detective Leigh McBride's first assignment with the FBI
brings her face-to-face with a past she's tried hard to forget. And when her
temporary partner, a cynical ex-marine, lights a fire in her she thought
long-extinguished, her darkest secret is threatened.
Scarred both physically and emotionally, Special Agent J. T. Noble
is a man of few words. He prefers to keep people at a distance—until he meets
Leigh. He's attracted to her strength and drawn in by her secrecy. But in their
line of work, secrets can be deadly.
When the killer they are hunting aims his vigilante justice at
Leigh's past assailant, the fine line between right and wrong blurs. To heal
the past—and find their future together—Leigh and J. T. must learn that only
through trust and forgiveness can love grow.
The six-year-old missile launched himself into
the air, giving J.T. two choices. Catch the kid, or let him fall to the ground
like a deflated football. J.T. grabbed him and held Ethan out in front, as he
would a wet, smelly dog.
Leigh
jogged down the sidewalk, sparks flashing from her eyes. She pulled her son out
of J.T.’s grasp and plopped the kid down at her feet. She knelt and got right
in his face. J.T. made a mental note to not piss her off.
“What
have I told you about running out the door?”
Ethan’s
head bowed. “Don’t even think about it.” He stared at the tops of his bare
feet.
“Obviously,
you didn’t listen.” She tugged the knot at the back of her head tighter before
she looked up. “Sorry about the attack.”
“Kid’s
a natural born high jumper.” J.T. stuffed his hands in his pockets. She’d
wadded her hair in the old-lady-school-teacher-bun-thing she wore at work.
Probably just as well. If she’d left all that blond silk loose and sexy, he
might’ve thought this was a date or something, which it wasn’t. Him being here
was entirely the fault of his own big mouth.
“Please.”
She waved a hand toward the wide-open front door. “We were about to come and
get you.”
“You
knew I was here?”
“A
black Corvette rumbling around in our neighborhood doesn’t go unnoticed.”
Dressed
in blue jean shorts and a thin-strapped top exactly the same blue as her eyes,
Leigh looked more like a model than a mom. J.T. was glad he’d worn a T-shirt and
Wranglers.
His
chest double-clutched and pulled a weird stutter step when a small hand gripped
two of his fingers and two small feet shuffled hurriedly to keep up with him.
Tonight was a mistake.
Author the Author: A student of creative writing in her youth, Jerrie set
aside her passion when life presented her with a John Wayne husband, and two
wonderful children. A career in
logistics offered her the opportunity to travel to many beautiful locations in
America, and she revisits them in her romantic suspense novels.
But the characters went with
her, talked to her, and insisted she share their dark, sexy stories with
others. She writes alpha males and
kick-ass women who weave their way through death and fear to emerge stronger
because of, and on occasion in spite of, their love for each other. She likes to torture people, make them
suffer, and if they’re strong enough, they live happily ever after.
The author of THE GREEN-EYED DOLL, and THE LAST
EXECUTION, Jerrie and her husband live in Texas. She loves sunshine, children’s
laughter, sugar (human and granulated), and researching for her heroes and
heroines.
