The moment the idea of Gabe Knight stripping off her clothes and joining her on top of this table popped into her hazy thoughts, she knew she had to end the embrace.
“Gabe.” She offered him one last breathless kiss, then pushed her fingers between their lips. “Gabe, we have to stop.”
“I know.” With a throaty growl, he pulled away, dropping little kisses to her fingertips as he retreated. “I know you’re right. I don’t like it. But you’re right.”
Despite the rumpled coal-dark hair and the collar she’d wrinkled with her eager hand, his deep blue eyes were as clear and focused as ever. “So why did you kiss me? And yes, I know, it was a team effort. But I’m interested in your motives.”
Motives? She hadn’t thought that far ahead. Still trying to regulate her own breathing, Olivia ran her fingers through her own hair, dismissing the probing question. “Don’t analyze it, okay? Just accept the thank-you.”
“That was more than a thank-you.”

I wanted to take a moment to remind readers that my Precinct books, while set in a real place, are works of fiction. Kansas City is a safe, welcoming place to visit—full of history, art, music, theater, beautiful fountains, fun activities, great sports, fabulous places to shop, yummy barbecue and some of the friendliest people in the country.
With thanks to my family and friends in Kansas City.
Thanks, too, to the police, fire and rescue, city engineers and other public servants who serve KC and the surrounding metropolitan area.
My stories may be fiction, but Kansas City is real and wonderful—a great city to live in or visit.
Hope to see you there!

“How is this a cold case?” Detective Olivia Watson squatted down beside the body with the bashed-in head lying on the plush office carpet.
The pool of blood looked fresh enough. The alleged murder weapon, a civic volunteerism trophy from the dead man’s own desk, had already been bagged and packed away by the CSI trading notes with the medical examiner nearby. A uniformed officer and two building security guards were holding back a bevy of shocked and grieving office staff from the Kober & Associates PR firm, as well as curious onlookers from other businesses in the building beyond the yellow crime scene tape that blocked off the victim’s outer office door. The two Kansas City PD detectives on the far side of the room interviewing the distraught secretary who’d discovered her boss’s body after her half-day spa appointment seemed to have the crime scene well under control.
