Part of Series

Armed with revelations that could flip their world upside down, the Off the Books Task Force is diving into a case that’s as unpredictable as a coin toss. This time, they’ve assembled a full house, and it’s not a poker game. Brantley Walker and Reese Tavoularis are still at the helm, but they’re taking a backseat, letting their two newest team members take the wheel. At Brantley’s behest, Atticus James and Archer Halligan are stepping up to the plate as team leaders, ready to swing for the fences. With a to-do list that includes interrogating a mob boss and searching a former team member’s childhood residence, the task force is chasing leads across the great state of Texas. While new information keeps them moving, relationships are being put through the wringer, while new, unexpected ones are forming. Can the team find more than smoke and mirrors to pin their hopes on, or will they end up in a tangled web of intrigue and unexpected alliances?

Nicole Edwards
Nicole Edwards
Author · 103 books

New York Times bestselling author Nicole Edwards launched her professional writing career in July of 2012. Having been an avid reader all of her life and a huge fan of creative writing, it seemed the likely path for her to take. Since then, she has released more than 70 books and has no plans to stop. As her full-time career/hobby, Nicole writes steamy contemporary and erotic romances. Nicole is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author who was born and raised in Texas. Married with three kids and three dogs she has plenty of interaction to keep her imagination brewing. Her books have been featured in USA Today’s Happy Ever After segment as well as Indie Reader’s best seller list. She has forged her way as an independent author. Although she has a bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, she prefers to be hiding out in her writing cave, talking to the fictional characters that have built up in her head over the years. When she isn’t writing or plotting her next book (sometimes translated to “playing on Facebook”), Nicole loves to read and spend time with her family and her dogs.
