In this Honor Bound romance, a perilous change of heart looms for two former lovers...
Exactly why should P.I. Vince Sutton take his ex-wife’s case? Because she, assistant district attorney Simone Armstrong, put his brother in jail? Because the ambitious spitfire still drives him crazy? No, he’ll take it because “The Avenging Angel” makes him a deal he can’t refuse. Sparks fly when Vince works all-too-closely with Simone to locate her missing key witness...but in the process, they are drawn into a cold case. As much as he tries, Vince can’t deny that he’s never gotten over beautiful Simone, but can he admit his feelings to her—and himself? And can he save her from the danger that’s heading their way?
“Careful, Simone. Baiting me will only make me do something you’ll regret.”
“Like what?” She crossed her arms over her chest and inched up that defiant chin of hers.
“Well? I’m waiting.”
“Yes, you are, aren’t you?” He moved in, cupped the back of her head and dropped his mouth onto hers. He wasn’t certain who was more surprised.
There was only one thing more invigorating than kissing an expectant Simone and that was kissing an angry one. He drew her so tightly against him he wasn’t certain whose heart was beating double time.
She nipped at his lip gently. He grinned even as he pulled back and opened his eyes to stare into hers.
“Anytime you want to add sex to the deal, you let me know.”
She lifted a hand to his face, stroked gentle fingers down his cheek before she curled her fingers under his chin. “I hope you got that out of your system, because it’s not going to happen again.”

I’ve often wondered at what age we are most vulnerable as children. At what point can something happen that’s so devastating that we are changed from whatever fate meant us to be? For me, I was nine and the event was my parents’ divorce. I can trace so much of what makes me who I am directly to that event.
When the idea of the Honor Bound trilogy first took hold, I knew: three friends had survived something tragic, their childhood friend’s murder. From a psychological and writing perspective, the idea that Simone, Allie and Eden would deal with Chloe’s murder in entirely different ways made writing these stories even more exciting.
When Simone Armstrong first appeared in More Than a Lawman, I realized she would do whatever it takes to protect those she considers “hers.” As a prosecutor, her dedication gives her what she needs: the opportunity to put dangerous criminals behind bars. But at what cost to herself? I could find only one answer: her marriage. Can you hear me cackling with glee at the discovery of who her hero had to be?
You guessed it. Her ex-husband.
Vince Sutton fell hard for Simone from the moment they met, but as a former soldier who continues to fight his own personal battles, he wasn’t a man used to taking second place. And that opened up a lot of those “conflict” doors.
I’m a fan of reunion stories and as soon as I’d found these two characters, I knew I’d struck gold. It’s a serious battle of wills and one I hope you enjoy reading.
