Will the truth finally be revealed?
An Undercover Justice romance...
Undercover detective Rush Atkinson has finally infiltrated the crew of Jesse Garibaldi, the man suspected of killing his father years ago. But when Jesse orders him to “take care of” Alessandra Rivers—who’s been looking into her father’s death—Rush is forced to choose between maintaining his cover on his quest for revenge...and his sudden desire to protect Alessandra at all costs.
Amazon bestselling author MELINDA DI LORENZO writes in her spare time—at soccer practices, when she should be doing laundry and in place of sleep. She lives on the beautiful west coast of British Columbia, Canada, with her handsome husband and her noisy kids. When she’s not writing, she can be found curled up with (someone else’s) good book.

She made her way down the stairs, mindful of how hard her feet hit the wood and vigilant of her surroundings.
At the bottom, she took a deep breath then started another trek, this one over rocks and dirt and the occasional wayward root. It was a steep climb, and by the time she reached the tree line, Alessandra was slightly out of breath. So she paused to pull in a few gulps of oxygen. And when she did, she realized she could hear a masculine voice. Low enough that she couldn’t discern the words. But audible enough that she recognized it.
Rush. Thank God.
Her mind quickly connected the dots. The flash she’d seen was likely his phone, and he’d probably just sneaked off to have a quiet conversation. But the relief at having an explanation was short-lived. Because as Alessandra lifted her foot to move closer again, and opened her mouth to call his name, a light bit of wind kicked up and carried his voice to her. Clearly now, so she could completely make out his words.
“I’ve really got no choice,” he growled. “I have to get rid of her.”
The two statements were rough, angry and ominous. And they made Alessandra stumble. For a few seconds after her miniature crash landing, she didn’t move. She didn’t know if she could.
Do I run? Do I pretend I never heard any of it and go for a more subtle escape? Or do I confront him? Or—
Her tumble of frightened thoughts stopped short as a new sound carried to her ears. It was the crash of a man, pushing through the bushes. Rush was headed her way.
Welcome to the fourth and final installment in my Undercover Justice series. I’m so excited to bring you the elusive Detective Rush Atkinson. СКАЧАТЬ
