River walked into the precinct on Fourth Street. The building buzzed with activity. She
wondered why people weren’t falling over one another, given how fast they moved. Yes, she
knew cop shops—she’d spent her last ten years living in one, but the little cop shop in Bear
Creek, Montana was only slightly larger than this lunchroom she peeked into as she passed by.
When she asked for directions to the detectives’ bullpen, the sergeant at the front desk looked her
up and down, rolled his eyes, then pointed behind him and went back to a pile of paperwork.
She walked slowly by each door, reading the nameplates as she passed, until she came to
the door of Homicide Detective Gage Hamlin. The office walls were glass giving her a clear
view of the man sitting at his desk studying his computer. His disheveled coffee-colored hair
brushed the collar of his button-down royal blue shirt. When he looked over the top of his
computer screen, his sapphire-colored eyes locked on hers. River smiled and gave a cursory
knock on the half-opened door.
“Detective Hamlin?” River asked.
“Yeah, last time I checked. Do we have an appointment?” Detective Hamlin asked as he
grabbed his phone, and scrolled through, looking for an answer.
“No. No appointment. However, if you’re not too busy, I wonder if we could chat for a
few minutes?”
Detective Hamlin smiled, rose to his feet, walked around his desk, and pulled the door
open wider. He gestured for her to enter.
“Sure, I have a few minutes. How can I help you, Miss—?” He grabbed the pile of files
and loose papers out of the closest chair and dumped them into the next one over.
“My name is River Nightingale. I’m a private investigator, and I’ve been hired by the
Baxter family to check into their parents’ deaths.”
River watched as his sparkling eyes and dazzling smile faded from his chiseled features.
This reaction would take her a while to get used to. Cops respected other cops, but they had no
regard for private detectives. She had firsthand knowledge. Even the cops in her little shop in
Bear Creek used to treat them like they were week-old gum stuck to the bottom of their shoes. It
irritated her then and it pissed her off now. Although she wasn’t going to give Detective Hamlin
the satisfaction of knowing how she felt.
“I see,” Detective Hamlin said, tight-lipped. “I’ve no idea why they would hire you. I
worked the case and closed it.”
“That’s the point, Detective Hamlin. The Baxters don’t agree with your conclusion and
asked me to review your findings.”
“Now wait one damn minute. Despite how many open cases are assigned to me, I’m a
professional. My work is careful and thorough. On what grounds do they find my work
inadequate? And you—you don’t even know what kind of hoops I have to jump through. You’re
just another ambulance chaser, a clueless private dick.”
“Sorry to disappoint you, nevertheless I do know what kind of hoops you jump through. I
recently left my position as an officer.”
“What? Couldn’t handle the hard work?” He scoffed.
“I thrive on hard work. I worked hard for ten years and closed more cases than all my
colleagues combined. What I do have a problem with is being passed over for promotions while
some yahoo, with half the closed cases and experience, gets the job. And why? Merely because
he has a dick and I don’t.”

He made a grunting sound, leaned back in his chair, and crossed his arms over his chest.
River stared at him, daring him to make his next nasty comment.
“The case is officially mine, meaning anything you do, anything you discover, you tell
me.” He popped forward in his chair and started to punch the keys on his keyboard. “Do you
want a paper copy, or should I email it to you?” he asked.
She’d let his statement slide for now. They both knew it wasn’t true. She didn’t need to
keep him informed. Even so, no sense ruffling his overly irritated ego.
“My client supplied a paper copy. I would appreciate an electronic one, please.” She
pulled a business card from her purse and handed it to him.
“Miss Demeanor Private Investigators.” Hamlin read out loud. “So, you purchased the
old agency.”
“That’s correct. Along with three friends, who are all experienced policewomen.”
“I’ve never heard your name, and I know most of the cops in the city by face, if not
name.”
“I’m not from here.”
“Huh.” He grunted as he studied her.
River quietly withstood his scrutiny. She knew exactly what this jerk was trying to do. He
wanted to make her uncomfortable, test her, try to make her fidget or feel insecure. She wouldn’t
give him the satisfaction.
“I’m heading over to impound right now. Nothing against your report, it’s thorough
enough. All the same, I’m a hands-on type of person. I find I work better when I’m able to
investigate things firsthand and reach my own conclusions. I’ll get out of your hair now. I just
wanted to stop by, introduce myself, and give you a heads-up about the Baxters hiring me to
work their case.”
Hamlin simply stared at her. The look on his face—priceless. She couldn’t help herself.
Forget not wanting to push his buttons. This man needed a little ruffling. River wanted to
smile or stick out her tongue at him. She held her composure. The last thing she needed was to
piss him off more. Like he said, the case was technically still his, closed or open, and if she
wanted any chance of solving it successfully, it would be easier to have him on her side. She
needed to win him over. No better time to start than the present. Her insides cringed and she bit
her bottom lip to keep from groaning.
“However, if you’re free for a bit, I’d appreciate your insight,” she said as she rose from
the chair.
“I can’t spare you much, but I’ll take you over to impound,” he grumbled.

I have always been a bookworm and had always meant to write a novel “someday.” You know, when I won the lottery and could live in beach house and feel inspired. Twelve years ago I decided to stop waiting for my winning lottery ticket and sat down and started writing.

While I’ve hopped around genres, all of my books to date have a common theme: strong women handling what life throws at them the best way they can. My titles include: Gold Coast Wives, The Girls on Rose Hill, The Devlin Witch (Books 1-4 of the Devlin Legacy Series), Cold Spring, Johnny Be Good, See Me and Friends Forever.

EXCERPT from The Girls on Rose Hill

Suddenly, I was starved. I hadn’t eaten much more than the occasional sandwich during the last few
weeks. The restaurant wasn’t open yet for dinner. Brendan slipped the hostess a twenty. She led us to an
outdoor patio and brought us two very strong martinis. I didn’t have the energy or the interest to respond
to Brendan’s banalities so after a while he stopped talking, and we sat there quietly and drank our martinis

while the boats sailed by.
By the second martini, the restaurant opened and the waiter bought us two T-Bones, which we
ate in silence, although the silence was now companionable rather than strained. By dessert and my third
martini, I was feeling a bit “merry” as my grandmother would say, and was ready to talk to Brendan.
Grateful for a now appreciative audience, Brendan regaled me with his latest office coup, one of his many
attempts to displace his law firm’s current managing partner.
We chatted about country club gossip and our sons’ complicated love lives during martini
number four. I laughed at Brendan’s flirty banter; he was a philandering asshole, but he could be very
funny, especially after a few drinks. It was still light out when I swayed through the restaurant parking lot
to my car. Brendan, who was sober, at least compared to me, drove us home.
He helped me out of the car and up the steep front steps.
“Good evening, Ellen,” Barbara Conroy trilled from her front porch.
“Hi, Barbara,” I slurred. Brendan poured me in the front door. I stumbled into the hallway and
knocked over the brass umbrella stand. For some reason, Brendan found that very funny.
He laughed. “I can’t remember when I’ve seen you this lit.” Brendan steered me toward the
stairs.
“I’m perfectly fine,” I huffed.
“Of course you are, sweetheart, but you’ve had a long day. We both have. Why don’t we go take
a nap.” Brendan practically pushed me up the stairs and into Kitty’s room.
“This isn’t my room,” I protested weakly, as Brendan slipped the linen shift from my shoulders.
“I don’t think this is a good idea.” I moaned as his hands travelled down the front of my body and cupped
my still firm breasts. He then gently pushed me onto Kitty’s bed. The old bed creaked under our weight.
His mouth expertly covered mine and despite the vow I had taken three years earlier not to be seduced by
him again, I responded.
