I am pretty excited. We are going to try something new here at Book Basset. On Sunday I am going to post a short story that will be free to download directly to your Kindle. I have read it and I think it is an excellent sampling of the authors writing style. Right from the start you feel like you have always known the characters and can lose yourself in the story fully and easily. The short story is a great sampling of her work. Look for that on Sunday and let me know what you think.
Love On The Line
Kimberly Kincaid
Genre: Romance
FREE for a limited time
“Take one sizzling hot cop, add a sweet and saucy chef, and you’ve got the recipe for pure romance.
Violet Morgan puts the personal in personal chef, catering to clients who want the full cooking experience rather than a culinary drop-and-dash. But when her brother’s police detective partner is injured in the line of duty and needs help during recovery, she makes an exception. Violet lost her father to the job seven years ago, and worries for her brother’s safety every day. The last thing she wants is to get up-close with her brother’s career-cop partner…again.
For Noah Blackwell, being a detective isn’t just a lifestyle, it’s a legacy. So when he’s forced to take mandatory leave and deal with the trauma amnesia keeping him from identifying his shooter, it’s as if insult and injury have joined forces— and now he’s got to deal with an unwanted caregiver on top of it. Never mind that he and Violet shared a steamy, secret kiss last New Year’s Eve. She rejects everything related to the job, and Noah’s not about to be distracted from recovering his memory and getting back to what he does best. No matter how pretty Violet is.
Despite their differences, Violet and Noah share a surprising bond in the kitchen that grows into something neither of them expect. But as Noah heals and their feelings for each other extend from the kitchen to the bedroom, Violet knows she must make an impossible choice. She may wear her heart on her sleeve in the kitchen, but can she put love on the line?
