Blurb:
Vinnie Delarosa and Ethan Thorne are
partners—on and off the clock. Federal undercover detectives, they’re part of a
covert task force designed to promote goodwill between the feds and local
authorities. They lend an unobtrusive helping hand wherever it’s needed. No
credit required.
Vinnie and Ethan work primarily in the
Southeast region of the United States and live together in Richmond, Virginia.
A mugger problem brings them to Roanoke, where Vinnie is thrown out as bait to
catch the man who’s been snatching purses in a city park, but they end up with more
than they bargained for. Why is Vinnie always the one who has to wear the
dress? Ethan says it’s because Vinnie looks much prettier in a skirt. How can
he argue with that?
Expecting to return to Richmond afterward,
Vinnie and Ethan find themselves assigned a new case instead. They are to go
undercover at The Stroll, one of the biggest gay nightclubs in Roanoke. Someone
is terrorizing both the customers and the performers. Could they be dealing
with a hate crime? Someone has to protect the drag queens of Roanoke, so it’s
Vinnie and Ethan to the rescue!

Excerpt:
“Remind me again whose stupid idea this
lipstick was,” I huffed under my breath. Without thinking, I licked my lips.
They felt greasy, and tasted even worse. I forced myself not to grimace, afraid
it might crack the foundation I’d slathered on my face.
“Mine, you sexy beast,” came the smart-ass
reply in my ear. “I think you got purty lips, mmhmmm.”
“Fuck you,” I growled. “You should be doing
this, not me, and you know it. I did it last time.”
And the time before that. And the time
before that. Wait, did I detect a pattern here?
“What I know is you look better in a skirt
than I do. And you look damn good out of it too.”
My cheeks filled with heat at Ethan’s words.
Luckily the darkness hid a multitude of sins, my embarrassment being the least
of them. Hopefully, no one else was listening—I knew I’d never hear the end of
it. Just what I needed—to be the object of ridicule of the Roanoke PD.

It’s all about the author…
Julie Lynn Hayes first began publishing
short stories and poetry in the 1990’s, when it was a different ballgame
altogether, and Ebooks hadn’t been dreamed of yet. That changed in 2010 with
the acceptance of her first romance novel. She’s come a long way since that
first book appeared, and is finding the journey a very educational one.
She lives in St. Louis with her daughter
Sarah and her cat Ramesses. She often writes of two men finding true love and
happiness in one another’s arms, and is a great believer in the happily ever
after. She likes to write in different genres, to stretch herself in order to
see what is possible. Her great challenge is to be told something can’t be
done—she feels compelled to do it.
When she isn’t writing, she enjoys crafts,
such as crocheting and cross-stitch, needlepoint and knitting, and she loves to
cook, spending time watching the Food Network. Her favorite chef is Geoffrey
Zakarian. Her family thinks she’s a bit off, but she doesn’t mind. Marching to
the beat of one’s own drummer is a good thing, after all. Her published works
can be found at Dreamspinner Press, eXtasy Books, and Wayward Ink Press.
