Box Set Description
This sizzling box set for the Vegas Series starts off where we
meet up with hardworking, hard-assed Detective Aurora Morelli.
Attempting to arrest a rapist who attacks her colleague then continually
thwarts her attempts to bring him to justice--to a horrific nightmare
where her new baby is kidnapped--this scrappy detective does everything
in her power to control these events. Kai Lawson, a partner she doesn't
want, fights against and in the end accepts is the hero in these first
few stories. The bald-headed, purse-carrying hotshot knows just how to
pull her crank and the outcome is entertaining. Their blockbuster story
will get you totally invested in this series.
Suspenseful and fast-paced, this short story will introduce you to
Aurora Morelli and Kai Lawson; the characters who star in the
full-length sequel "Roll the Dice" .
Forced to take on a new partner, after a serial rapist attacks her
former one, annoys Aurora big time. Especially when he's the kind of
hotshot she normally stays as far away from as possible. But, because
they both want this man more than anything else, they ignore the
irritating explosions they set off from one another. And finding this
slimeball becomes their ultimate goal.
When attractive Las Vegas detective, Aurora Morelli, makes a friend, she
takes the relationship very seriously. And if someone hurts that
person, they’re going down. Slim and dainty, she has the heart of a
lion, and when angry, the manners of a she-cat. Therefore the sicko who
attacked her partner has become her prime target and nothing or no one
will stand in her way. Except maybe her new partner who arrives in town
full of vengeance for the same culprit.
Kai Lawson, a Bruce Willis look-alike, annoys her, and almost from
the beginning, things go wrong. She questions whether they should be
working together, especially after he shoots her, and not accidentally.
Constant screw-ups on the job and the attraction building between them
makes reaching her goal seem almost insurmountable. Almost!
Short Bridge story!
Left high and dry, Aurora battles against her love for Kai. She
eventually fights her way out of the pain of abandonment when she learns
that Kai unknowingly left her with a part of himself she can love. Of
course, she’s also forced to take on another partner. A ditzy gal who
gets under her collar at first, but whose chatty cheerfulness and
incredible skills soon win her a place on Aurora’s best-friend list.
Then there’s the good-looking devil, Jeff Waters, who’s the owner of
the fantastic new casino in town. He makes up his mind he desires
Aurora. She’s his type of woman, and he’s the kind of guy who’s used to
getting what he wants.
Aurora loves her mommy role and is fascinated by her little angel, Lily.
When babies start to disappear in Vegas, not once did Aurora ever
imagine that Lily would be one of the kidnap victims. So when the
unthinkable happens, it forces Aurora to once again partner with Lily’s
daddy, Kai, who’d previously walked out on her. This time, her heart
will be kept firmly in lock-down where it’s safely resided since he
disappeared and left her high and dry.
Almost a year later, still heartbroken over having lost Aurora, Kai
learns he’s become a daddy. When a crazy lunatic kidnaps his baby girl,
nothing can stop him from working the case, not even Aurora’s gun
pointing at places on his body he’d like to keep intact. Hope arises
when Aurora’s lips tell him to drop dead, but her hungry eyes plead for
more of his tender brand of loving.
Short Bridge Story:
Lisa will be at Aurora and Kai’s wedding and forced to spend the
evening with Jeff Waters, a man whose very presence makes her feel about
the same age as Noel, her three-year-old adopted nephew. Not only can’t
she talk with the man around, she can’t think straight when his
gorgeous grey eyes search hers as if he’s trying to figure her out.
Jeff is intrigued with the long-legged, curly-haired beauty who
tries so hard to ignore him. When they end up spending the night
together, he knows he’s met the one and only. Now all he has to do is
get her to acknowledge the fact that she really does like him even when
she’s sober.
Lisa never breaks promises.
So when her old partner, Aurora, makes her promise to find out who
has kidnapped Jeff Waters and to save him from being killed, she agrees.
No one knows that he’s burrowed a path into her soft heart after their
illicit night in his luxurious apartment. Just imagining him being in
danger is enough to terrify the Las Vegas detective into taking chances
she wouldn’t normally now that she’s responsible for her precocious
three-year-old nephew.
Jeff hates knowing that the one person who comes to his rescue is
the only woman he’s ever wanted to marry, a woman he should be
protecting not the other way around. The fact that his family’s history
put her in danger is driving him crazy. As crazy as the two killers who
want him dead… but only after they get their ransom and bed the gorgeous
long-legged prostitute they know has come to save him.
Boxed Set Review
Not only is this boxed set great value for money, the stories are
absolutely awesome!
I thought I'd read a couple of chapters before I
slept and guess what Mimi's story hooked me from the beginning. I would
sneak a peek at the clock and tell myself I'd sleep after I read just
one more chapter. And guess what I finally finished at 4 in the morning
and just knocked out after that!
The action, the drama, the feeling of
wanting to comfort Aurora while kicking Kai's butt, its an amazing and
engrossing read. I especially loved the new "jock" partner Lisa and her
reaction to Jeff. The whole MGM dancers bit was really hilarious too!
Like I said I loved it so much I just had to read every last page before
I could sleep! Thank you Mimi for the entertainment, and the dark
circles under my eye ;)
