Racing Peril
by January Bain
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Romantic Suspense
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Revenge. Greed. Murder. And an insatiable passion...
Silk
O’Connor resolves to take justice into her own hands on the steps of an LA
courthouse. The scumbag who killed her sister is holding a press conference,
set free by a corrupt justice system bought off by his rich father.
Inconceivable. There is no way she will just let him walk away.
Jake
Marshall is a decorated war hero on leave, filling in for a friend at Sterling
Security—and protecting the very man who used his car as a weapon and murdered
Silk’s only family. The war has left him with PTSD, fighting to salvage his own
sanity, and a sniper is the last thing he needs.
The
two clash when Jake finds Silk preparing to mete out her own frontier-style
brand of justice from the courthouse roof…and the adrenaline-fueled high-stakes
world of sex trafficking it ensnares the pair in tests them to their absolute
limit.
And when Silk enters this den of depravity, she knows only one
thing for certain, she may never come out alive.

What others are saying about Racing Peril:
From the editor,
Rebecca Fairfax: “I love the unique ‘Januaryness’ January Bain
brings to her writing. It’s a blend of her immense imagination, her fully
rounded characters, her well-researched stories, the fast pace she tells them
at and it’s all wrapped up in her love for what she does and sprinkled right
through with her Canadianism. You can’t go wrong with one of her books, whether
it’s the fun, sexy romps of her Brass Ringers series or the high-octane blast
of this romantic suspense series. Just read Racing Peril and you’ll be rushing
for book two, Racing the Tide!”
Dear Reader,
January
Bain is an extraordinary author who has great talent in capturing the story and
creating memorable characters. Romantic suspense is not easy to write. You must
create characters who are vibrant and electric, make sure neither the romance
nor the suspense overshadow each other, and craft a story that keeps the reader
on edge from beginning to end. January Bain has done just that with RACING
PERIL. It is one of my personal favorites and I know it will be one of yours,
too. Thank you, January, for writing such an excellent story. This is a real
treat for readers. I hope there are more like this to follow.

EXCERPT ONE:
The
seconds ticked by while Silk O’Connor peered through the scope of the .300
Winchester Magnum. It wasn’t her usual choice of weapon. She preferred
something a little more up close and personal in her job as a PI.
“Murderer!”
“Justice
for Ashley!”
It
was time. The news conference was starting. She shifted from her prone position
and stretched out farther on her stomach, moving her body slightly forward.
She’d
held the stance for the past hour with the rifle braced on bipod legs, situated
860 yards from the Los Angeles Superior Court, Stanley Mosk Courthouse Grant
Street entrance with its distinctive terra cotta figures. They had been
designed to represent the Foundations of the Law, the Magna Carta, English
Common Law, and the Declaration of Independence, but today the classically
robed men of honor standing so nobly for justice might just might want to crawl
down off that façade if they knew how it had been bought and paid for in the
courthouse beneath their feet. By an uber-corrupt rich man.
The
people screaming from the sidewalk as the asshole was hustled out of the
entrance were right. The shit-bag was scum. He was evil incarnate, hiding his
murdering proclivities for partying and driving drunk under a handsome mug that
made her want to puke. She spat out her now tasteless gum onto the flat tarred
roof softened by the harsh L.A. sunshine, the air percolating with the oily
fumes.
She
squinted through the scope. Her vantage point, reconnoitered weeks ago, gave an
unobstructed view of the press conference. She was primed to catch the exact
right split second. Her stomach grumbled, reminding her she’d neglected to eat
that day. Later. Do the job first. But even her well-trained mind could not
help reliving the crime that had led to this exact juncture. The images stalked
her, day and night, the ghosts demanding justice for their murder at the hands
of a psychopath who had no qualms taking chances with another person’s life,
driving drunk one time too many.

AUTHOR BIO:
I
think I've wished on every falling star, every blown-out birthday candle, and
every coin thrown in a fountain to be a storyteller. And I know where it all
began! I was blessed by being read to by
my mom every night at bedtime. :-)
I
love spending hundreds of hours researching the unusual and the mundane to
create books that feature strong, kickass women, hot complicated men who aren’t
afraid to take risks, and wild adventures full of twists and turns.
You
can find me hard at work every morning without fail in my office with a furry
baby trying to prove she does a better job of guarding the universe than
anyone.
I
enjoy talking books, so please connect on Facebook!
