…makes their shared desire harder to ignore
Detective Roni Lopez has been keeping a secret from Detective Trey Gonzalez her whole life. When his partner is gunned down in a Miami Beach nightclub, she has a new secret to keep. Trey can’t know that she’s working for Internal Affairs—just like he can’t know that she’s always loved him. But when their lives are on the line, she has to make some tough choices about what really matters…
Excerpt
Music pounded out of speakers while a DJ positioned on a stage above the crowded dance floor, like a high priest at the altar, orchestrated the electronic beats. Tourists dressed in bright tropical hues danced and gyrated beside top model wannabes and disinterested locals. Overhead lights and strobes bathed them in a wash of neon color.
The South Beach nightclub was lit but danger lurked beneath all that glitter and glamour.
Miami Beach Detective Trey Gonzalez stood at one side of the packed club, searching for the confidential informant who had called to say he had info that might be of interest. His partner, Doug Adams, had gone off on his own earlier to meet his own CI and hadn’t returned. As Trey scanned the area, he caught sight of his sister Mia and cousin Carolina jockeying for spots at the bar. The two women had been born on the same day and were almost inseparable, which was why everyone teasingly called them the Twins. As they were two of Miami’s top influencers, he wasn’t surprised to see them there since they regularly covered the club scene for their popular lifestyle blog. But he was worried that they might get caught up in the nasty things going on at the club.
His phone vibrated in his pocket, dragging his attention from the Twins. When he had time, he’d have to warn his sister and cousin away from this location. He pulled out his phone. His CI was calling.
“¿Donde estas, Eddie?” he asked, wondering where the man was since Trey hadn’t spotted him in the club.
“Mano, I can’t show my face tonight,” Eddie said in hushed tones, making it hard for Trey to hear over the almost deafening music.
To combat the noise, Trey hurried outside into a Miami night that was so steamy it was like he had walked into a sauna. “¿Que pasa?”
“There’s too much going down at the club, Trey,” his CI said nervously and slightly out of breath, as if he was running from something. Was it personal Eddie issues or something bigger that might be dangerous to the Twins and other innocent bystanders?
“Caray, Eddie. What’s happening?” Trey said, worried. Plus, his partner would be wondering where he had gone since they might be missing some of the drug dealing that he and his partner were undercover to prevent.
In a rapid-fire burst of words, Eddie spilled his sketchy story. “Looking for me there. I know about the women in a shipping container on Terminal Island. Sending them overseas to a human trafficking ring. Soon.”
