The Sweetheart Racket
by Cheryl Ann
Smith
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Romance Suspense
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
They used to
be on the sidelines. Now they’re out in the field…
Two years
ago, Taryn Hall was a pro football cheerleader—until she left her lecherous
boss with a bloody nose and a faceful of Mace. Now she’s part of a different
kind of squad. An elderly billionaire named Irving has hired and trained Taryn
and her two best friends to work as private investigators…
Taryn loves
the job, though it sometimes involves boring stakeouts, dog bites—and listening
to Irving talk about his golf shoes. Then tattooed, steely-eyed, straight-up
gorgeous undercover DEA agent Rick Silva walks into the office and shakes
things up…
Rick needs
help finding the con artist who’s taken his lonely mother for all she was
worth. With multiple aliases and multiple victims, it will be a challenge to
track down the coldhearted gigolo. And Rick insists on accompanying Taryn on
the hunt, working closely, day and night.
This could be
dangerous. And the case might be kind of risky, too…

EXCERPT ONE:
The
Sweetheart Racket
“I need a
PI.”
She was
just tired enough to make a sassy comment about his good fortune of stumbling
into a PI firm, but profit margins danced fresh in her mind. Why chase off a
perfectly good client with a smart comment?
“Come to
my office.” The stranger followed her. She was con- vinced he was checking out
her butt. Or maybe it was just wishful thinking. She hadn’t had a date in ages,
and was beginning to feel a bit withered. Either way, she needed to keep her
mind on business and not how good he looked in his jeans.
He
settled into a chair before her desk and looked around the space. He had a
strong jaw, a semi-straight nose, and a small scar that dissected his right
brow.
“What can
I do for you, Mr.—?” “Silva. Rick Silva.”
“Yes, ah,
Mr. Silva. What brings you to Brash ?” Despite a pro- fessional outward
demeanor, it proved difficult to concentrate on anything but his gorgeous gray
eyes. They were a stark contrast to his dark brown hair and tanned face.
The man
was all alpha male. She’d be shocked if he’d ever eaten a bean sprout on
purpose or ordered a vanilla mocha latte with lite whip and cinnamon sprinkles.
Add the
tattoos peeking out from beneath his t-shirt sleeves and she wondered if he’d
done time.
“I’m
searching for someone. His name is Teddy Brinkman.”
His voice
had gone hard. There was danger in his expression. A chill trilled through her.
She leaned forward and knitted her fingers, forcing herself not to show fear.
“Are you going to kill him?”
Silva’s
eyes widened at her bluntness. “And if I did?”
Damn.
She’d hoped for a new client, not a murderer looking for an accomplice. “Then I
can’t help you.” She stood. “We are not in the business of playing intermediaries
to murder. You’ll have to find him on your own.”
And she’d
have to call the cops ASAP.
