Feeling Good On Friday

A brutal murder. A missing athlete. A detective with everything to prove…

Working his first homicide case since relocating from the United Kingdom, Detective Sergeant Jack Lisbon must prove he’s got what it takes to perform in the heat of tropical Northern Australia.

A mutilated body washes up on the edge of a mangrove forest with wounds in keeping with a frenzied crocodile attack, which, to begin with, seems a straightforward incident — death by misadventure.

However, when Lisbon and his partner Detective Claudia Taylor investigate further, all signs point towards a premeditated, vicious murder. The case takes another sinister turn when a champion athlete vanishes, forcing the police to consider the possibility of a double homicide.

As the list of suspects grows, the detectives find themselves up against a wall of silence in the tight-knit community of Yorkville — no one wants to talk, and the killer remains elusive.

With time running out, can Lisbon rise to the challenge and bring the perpetrator to justice?

As with most beginnings, it started with death.

When I had nothing left to lose, I traveled to the hut in the woods; the one no one dared approach. The witch who lived there recognized the darkness in my soul and took me under her wing — to witness her reign of terror firsthand and eventually, to inherit her legacy as my own.

Now I’m the monster they fear; the one humans avoid at all costs. In this welcome isolation, I’ve attempted to forget my past and the future that was taken from me.

Until three men appear, somehow able to break through my protective wards and see me in my true form. While resistant to their intrusion, I recognize they may be the ones I’ve been waiting for — the ones I need to ascend to my full power.

Too bad I would rather grind their bones than invite them in.

But something is mysteriously devouring the forest, and I suspect the threat may be the same one I barely escaped many moons ago. If it is, he will find me a more worthy opponent than the last time we met.

I am the Yaga and I may be broken, but my edges are sharp.

Jasper Westbrook. Code name: Swoon Machine.
My best friend’s older brother.
Melter of ovaries. Destroyer of panties.
And suddenly… a single dad.

Guys like Jasper — I bet you know the type. The chiseled arms. The wavy hair. The melt-your-brain-cells smile.
Good thing I’m a smart girl — Honey Hill’s former child prodigy, to be precise — I should know better than to fall for this playboy’s charm.

Here’s the thing, though. The man is an expert at solving my problems. And he always knows how to make me laugh. And those hands… Those big, rough mechanic hands…
Oh, damn. What’s that I just said about resisting his charm? Never mind.

Right as our clothes are about to go flying, Jasper’s playboy ways catch up to him. And his life goes to hell in a picnic basket.

Welp. Should have seen that coming.

What I didn’t expect was that Jasper would turn to me for help. And that I would accept.
And I definitely didn’t expect to discover the ‘paternal side’ he’s had hidden all along.

When he rocks his sweet baby girl to sleep in those big, tattooed arms, ‘come to daddy’ takes on a whole new meaning.
Now, I just want to crawl between his sheets and keep him up past his bed time… if you know what I mean.

But we both know we shouldn’t cross that line. Because Jasper is the sudden single dad. And I’m the reluctant nanny. There’s way too much at stake.

Yet, each stolen kiss ignites a wildfire. And each whispered confession leaves me craving his heart.

Fine. I should know better. But I just want to tame this wild one. Once and for all.
