A few seconds later, Carter Andrews goes slack beneath me.
Normally, this is when I’d pack up the body and make sure it’s never found. Not this time, though, and I’m strangely intrigued by my client’s demand for his remains. I wrap the tarp tightly around my victim and then stuff his body along with all the other evidence into a body bag. I lock the front door on my way out and then drag the body through the yard to my truck.
The cold night air causes vapor to billow out of my mouth as I heave the bag into the bed of my truck and then climb into the cab. “Fade to Black” by Metallica pours from the speakers as I crank the ignition, and I smile.
We’re heading to a club for the big show tomorrow night.
The light to my dark. ♥
Jen, you put up with a lot from me. I should say thank you to you…but I won’t. You really should worry less. I’ve heard that shit gives you wrinkles. Did this make you smile? Because you do that for me every day.
Angie, you are my superhero. There are no other words needed.
Brandy, Dottie, Tami, and Elaine, I couldn’t ask for better input during my process.
Ashley, no matter how many times you make me quack or growl, I will always appreciate you and everything I learn from you. I’m thankful for your work and your friendship.
Jovana, you are FIERCE. I couldn’t want for a better final set of eyes to check over my words and make the inside of my books beautiful. The support you show to your clients every day is inspiring.

As a child, Jennifer Michael dreamed of being an author. Life and adulting pushed that dream down to a mere fantasy. Then, as a reader, she found the indie romance world, and the dream that had long ago been deemed unattainable became a reality.
Writing fulfills pieces of Jennifer that she lost. She writes stories that range from sweet and sultry to dark and daring. Behind her computer, she’s constantly dreaming up of where she’ll go next, not wanting to be put in a specific romance genre box. Pushing limits and striving to conquer wherever the characters take her is the ultimate method to her madness.
Jennifer resides in southwest Florida where she wishes she spent much more time at the beach. She’s an avid reader of gritty books with deep emotion or dark, twisty plots and fond of more than a few guilty-pleasure television shows. She gets sucked into the world of characters from all mediums.

THE LOVE UNAUTHORIZED SERIES
Deceit in Bloom
Cautionary tales don’t usually have happy endings…
Raised in foster care. The sister of a whore. The fool who fell for the wrong guy.
Paisley James is all-too aware that, sometimes, fairy tales just don’t exist.
There is no telling where hearts belong or loyalties lie when deceit is in bloom.
Vengeance in Bloom
Vengeance is sweet.
Collateral damage is inevitable in a game of revenge.
Loyalty is gone, and hearts have been shattered.
Paisley and Burke now face the aftermath of deceit, but can they do so together, or will their love be a casualty?
