It’s amazing how much a smell or a sound can bring back a memory.

For Hailey McCormick, the hurt from her painful memories never faded. Teased in high school because of her weight, she graduated and never looked back, but the scars remained. She changed her bad habits on the surface and strived to start her own successful publishing company. Everything in Hailey’s life is under control, that is until she receives an invitation to her high school reunion. She is not ready to face the cheerleading clique that tormented her every day or the captain of the Lacrosse team, Chase O’Brien, that she pined over for 4 years and the only person who never teased her.

Chase O’Brien isn’t your average stuck on himself jock. He actually has a conscience. Because of his kindness, women play him for a fool. He has had enough and takes a stand for himself when his current girlfriend of two years is caught in the act.

Locking You (The Boston Kirkpatrick's #2)

Thu, 27 Nov 2014 09:52:36 +0200

Joella Soriano and Brendan Kirkpatrick have been living a blissful life together since their engagement a year ago. They have flourished in the months after tragedy nearly took Joella’s life in the line of duty.

Very much in love, they are planning a June wedding and juggling their hectic jobs.

Brendan, a savvy businessman, is coerced by his younger brother Connor into purchasing a casino that is in disrepair. It seems like a good business opportunity, until the owner of the casino turns up dead – murdered in cold blood.

Joella, who is a lead detective with the Boston PD, receives a call to report to the murder scene the very morning that Brendan is scheduled to meet with investors and bankers.

The wife of the deceased businessman begins pointing fingers at none other than Brendan and Connor Kirkpatrick. It is Joella’s difficult task to determine who the real murderer is and the motive for the crime, in order to get Brendan and Connor off the hook.

Don’t expect smooth sailing in the Kirkpatrick home, either. With Joella working hard on the case with rookie cop, Chase Wilson, Brendan becomes jealous. Don’t expect him to hide the fact that this bothers him either.

To make matters worse, Brendan begins receiving calls from his ex-wife Jessica who claims to still be in love with him.

Jessica wants Brendan back and will not take no for an answer. Joella doesn’t take well to Jessica’s advances and is not pleased that his ex is trying to cause a rift between her and Brendan.

Can Joella and Brendan’s relationship survive the obstacles ahead? As the plot thickens, and more people are murdered, Joella and Brendan realize that there is more than just their relationship at stake – their own lives are in danger.

If the forces at work have their way, there might not be a wedding after all.
