“The poet is a liar who always speaks the truth.”—Jean Cocteau

Some call him friend or boss.Some call him husband or dad.Some call him son, even a favorite son.

But the only title that matters to him is the one the media has given him: The Poet.

A name he earned from the written words he leaves behind after he kills that are as dark and mysterious as the reason he chooses his victims.

One word, two, three, a story in a poem, a secret that only Detective Samantha Jazz can solve. Because he’s writing this story for her.

She just doesn’t know it yet.

Excerpt from Hard Rules (Dirty Money book #1)His hand curls around mine and he drags it to his knee, and the way he’s looking at me, like the rest of the room, no, the rest of the world, doesn’t exist, steals my breath. I haven’t allowed anyone to really look at me in a very long time.“Emily,” he says, doing whatever he does to turn my name into a sin that seduces rather than destroys me.“Shane,” I manage, but just barely.“Did you say yes to dinner because you didn’t want to be alone?”I am not sure where he is going with this, if it’s about reading me or if he needs validation that I am here for him, so I give him both. “I like being alone,” I say, and on some level, it really is true. “I said yes to dinner because you are the one who asked.” My lips curve. “Actually you barely asked. You mostly ordered.”“I couldn’t let you say no.”“I’m actually really glad you didn’t.”“And yet you say you like being alone?”“It’s simple and without complication.”“Spoken like someone who’s lived the opposite side of the coin.”“Haven’t we all?”“Who burned you, Emily?”I blanch but recover with a quick, “Who says anyone burned me?”“I see it in your eyes.”“Back to my eyes,” I say.“Yes. Back to your eyes.”“Stop looking.”“I can’t.”Those two words sizzle, matching the heat in his eyes, and my throat goes dry. “Then stop asking so many questions.”He reaches up, brushing hair behind my ear, his fingers grazing my cheek, and suddenly he is closer, his breath a tease on my cheek, his fingers settling on my jaw. “What if I want to know more about you?”“What if I don’t want to talk?”“Are you suggesting I shut up and kiss you?”Yes, I think. Please. But instead I say, “I don’t know. I haven’t interviewed you as you have me. I know nothing about you. I want to know if you—”He leans in, and then his lips are on mine, a caress, a tease, that is there and gone, and yet I am rocked to the core, a wave of warmth sliding down my neck and over my breasts. He lingers, his breath fanning my lips, promising another touch I both need and want, as he asks, “You want to know if I what?”Everything. “Nothing.”
