Michelle Roth
Shakedown for the Diamond and Diamond Private Investigators
Hi there, everyone! I'm Michelle Roth and
I'm here to introduce my latest release, Shakedown. Diamond and Diamond is a
bit of a departure from anything that I've written thus far. My previous works
have all been ultra-realistic contemporary romance. Shakedown still has the
sexy, steamy elements just like any other erotic romance, but it also
incorporates a bit of suspense and mystery as well. I certainly hope you enjoy!
Private
Detective Mike Diamond is the low man on the totem pole. More often than not he
finds himself investigating insurance fraud or cheating spouses. When he's
assigned a dog-napping case, he is on the brink of refusing until he meets the
client. One look at her changes everything.
When
the police refuse to investigate her case, Cassidy Werner turns to Diamond and
Diamond Private Investigators. Despite the bad first impression he's given her,
Cassidy still hires Mike to help her find her prize Tibetan Mastiff. As she
gets to know him, she realizes that he's not only dedicated to getting Roddy
back for her, but also a pretty great guy.
EXCERPT :
He was relieved to find the lobby was
empty, so he stopped back at Lara's desk and asked, “Can you believe that shit?
A dog napping?”
He didn't think for a minute she hadn't
overheard every word. That woman was like the KGB and Secret Service all in
one. Anything happened in this office, she had it under immediate surveillance.
Lara cuffed him on the arm and said, “She's
in the bathroom, idiot.”
Mike winced, feeling bad he'd probably been
overheard. But, seriously, who hired a PI to find a lost dog?
Seconds later, the bathroom door slowly
opened. He almost did a double take as the woman stepped out. Aside from red
eyes that had clearly been crying, she was a looker.
She was elegantly dressed and somewhere
near his age, with a riot of auburn curls trailing down her back, like some
sort of mermaid siren. All ripe, lush curves. He'd always liked his women soft.
And, he was ogling this obviously distraught woman
like she was a steak. Not that he wouldn't be more than interested in taking
a bite, but it was clear that now wasn't the time. So instead of voicing his
thoughts, he stuck his hand out and said, “Mike Diamond. And you are?”
“Cassidy Werner,” she said, not bothering to stick her hand out.
Well, apparently she'd heard him. He'd need
to apologize, if the look on her face was any indication. He dropped his hand
and said, “My office is this way.”
She gave him a look that screamed 'You're on thin ice, buddy' but moved
toward the open office door
that Mike had gestured to. He followed her, once
again appreciating the hourglass waist and full hips. Damn.
He moved
behind his desk and gestured to one of the worn chairs. When she had settled
in, he asked, “So I understand your dog has been kidnapped?”

lands, or making two perfect strangers that she invented fall in love, she’s
probably curled up somewhere with a glass of wine and a good book.
