Bullets & Tiaras

Former Miss Texas, Victoria Dixon Hughes, moves to Los Angeles in search of peaceful anonymity, but the wealthy widow is soon up to her tiaras in trouble. Tori trolls the streets looking for a sadistic rapist who preys on illegal immigrants. When she finds the villain, Tori baits him into attacking her, then disarms and kills him with his own switchblade. She has no regrets. As her late husband, Bull, would've said, "That was a man who needed killing." Tori's conscience may be clear, but her calm, butter-wouldn't-melt-in-her-mouth demeanor leaves LAPD Detective Harsh Connolly with a bur under his saddle regarding the Widow Hughes. Yet, despite his disapproval of her "Texas-style justice," Detective Connolly finds himself inexplicably drawn to the exasperating redhead. Tori's annoyance with Harsh's smug superiority does nothing to diminish the mutual attraction. The sparks and bullets are flying in this sexy thriller filled with fast-paced action and irresistible romance.
