Fatal Bond

Book excerpt: From #1 Amazon & New York Times bestselling author Gemma Halliday and USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Fischetto comes a kidnapping gone wrong, an heiress undercover, and a Bond Girl torn between two men... Her name is Bond. Jamie Bond. And this time, the stakes are personal... Private investigator, Jamie Bond is used to danger—it's the name of her game. But when one of her past informants, an exotic dancer named Apple, goes missing, Jamie drops everything to find her. At first, Jamie suspects this may be a case of a weekend fling after a wild party at a Hollywood mogul's home. But it turns into something much more sinister when the movie mogul's daughter also appears to be kidnapped and a five million dollar ransom demand is made! Are the two missing women related? Which one of the movie mogul's angry associates is behind it? And can Jamie find Apple...before it's too late? With the clock ticking, Jamie rallies her crew of Bond Girls to sort through a slew of suspects including a cagey caterer, a film producer with an axe to grind, and the movie mogul's former best friend turned worst enemy. To complicate matters, at the kidnapper's demand of "no law enforcement or she dies," Jamie can't breathe a word of her investigation to her on-again off-again love interest, ADA. Aiden Prince—just when things are heating up between them, despite Jamie's complicated feelings for her best friend, Danny Flynn. Torn between two men, racing against time, and tracking a cold-blooded killer, Jaime has the case of her life on her hands—complete with more twists and turns than an LA freeway! The only question is, can she solve it in time...or will it be Apple's life on the line?
