As a child, Harper McDavid watched her mother ride the rollercoaster of writing books, swearing she’d never do it herself. But some things are just hardwired, and luckily for Harper the world has moved on beyond typewriters and ten-pound manuscripts. Harper’s gritty romantic suspense incorporates her own background in science and engineering and work experience along the border. The result is a collection of brainy hard hat-wearing heroines that occasionally swap out their coveralls for the little black dress. Harper is the mother of three daughters and lives in the foothills of Colorado with her husband, two dogs, and a fat cat. Her free time is spent traveling the world in search of that next story and perusing her local library for funny book covers. Website * Facebook * Twitter * Instagram * Bookbub * Amazon * Goodreads
The Tumbleweed Inn was one of four motels in town, if one didn’t count those that
charged by the hour. Unfortunately, the other three were booked. One glance at the room and
Avery knew she’d need at least a couple of drinks to actually sleep here.
Lucky for her, the Tumbleweed had its own restaurant: Catfish Cal’s. It smelled every bit
like its name. Bad fish cooked in old grease. Avery stepped down two grimy steps connecting the
lobby to the restaurant.
The conversation between Manuel and Bruce came to an abrupt halt as she pulled out a
chair. “What’s the word from Sam?” she asked. “Do we have a plan?”
A waitress stepped into her line of view, producing a pencil from behind her ear. “What
can I get you to drink, Miss?”
“A glass of your house red would be fine,” Avery said.
The woman stared at her as if she were a complete idiot. Avery’s eyes went to the men’s
drinks. Bruce was drinking a Bud. Manuel seemed to be abstaining.
“Scotch?” Avery said tentatively.
The waitress nodded. “Fusty Mule. It’s distilled here in town. On the rocks?”
Avery massaged her brow bone. “Sure.”
“Sam’s not happy,” Manuel said as the waitress walked away. “He didn’t know you were
here. Said it wasn’t part of the plan, and he wants you out of here.”
Avery pursed her lips. “That makes two of us. What were his exact words?”
