[Under Covers 01] • Darkening Skye

Tall, blonde and California tanned, Skye is an unconventionally happy cop with a sunny disposition.

Even after she gets shot in an embarrassing place, gets transferred across the country, and is relegated to a desk job, she brightens her days studying the archived cases of the legendary Nicholas Woods.

Homicide Detective Nicholas Woods catches killers because he understands them. A little too well for comfort.

When the hunt for a serial killer partners Skye with her idol, because she can look the part of his daughter, hero worship turns into something unexpected. The bubbly vanilla girl discovers a new side of herself. For the first time, Skye has to look into an inner darkness she had never acknowledged.

Woods never liked the fresh-faced college girl next door type, but he never had to live with one before. Being professional was never as hard as when she calls him Daddy.

Skye's impressive performance throws into another and far more dangerous undercover assignment. Will they have time to explore their feelings in the real world before she has to descend all the way into darkness?

"Darkening Skye" is a full-length, standalone romance (approximately 40,000 words) with a HEA and NO cliffhanger. It deals a relationship between an older man and a younger woman.

This is a love story at heart, but it's a dark and strange heart.
