It Off #5)
Author: Cambria Hebert
Release Date: December 13, 2013
Link: Goodreads
Synopsis:
Julie Preston is an artist. But her canvas isn’t paper or clay. It’s hair. She spends her days coloring, blow drying and styling her clients hair at the Razor’s Edge salon. Julie is also annoyed. She went out on a date and had a great time, gave the guy her number and the jerk never called.
So when he waltzes into the salon and sits down in her chair she briefly considers strangling him with the pink cape she fastens around his neck.
Too bad she can’t.
Blue Markson, the guy who never called, is a police officer so causing him bodily harm would be a first class ticket into the slammer. Just looking at him again makes Julie forget why she was mad in the first place, but she’s already learned that Blue is nothing but heartache. So when he starts coming around, acting like he hadn't made her stare at the phone for days, she tries to brush him off.
Only…
Her life is about to blow up in her face, she’s about to get caught up in a sticky web of crime and the one guy who can help her is the one guy she vowed never to trust again.

Teaser:

I leaned back against my padded headboard and tried to
calm my rolling stomach. As I sat there, trying not to barf a light sound
caught my attention.
It was the closing of the front
door.
I perked up, forgetting all
about the fact I was suffering from an attack of an unsuspecting hangover.
Had I forgotten to lock the
door? I never forgot to lock the
door. But I was usually not running from my best friend.
Great.
The one time I don’t lock the
damn door is the one time a burglar decides to come a calling.
Too bad for mister criminal I
had a plan for something like this. I was the kind of girl that always had a plan.
I crept into the bathroom, being
as quiet as I could and reached into the cabinet. I pulled out my weapons (hey,
all the crap that women have to do to themselves to look good definitely
qualify as weapons.) and gripped them closely to my chest with both hands.
My heart was beating so hard against
my ribs that it actually hurt and I had to work to not gasp for breath.
Catching my intruder by surprise was key to my plan.
Moving quickly through the dark
I moved to the bedroom door, leaning against the wall and peering out into the
darkened hallway. I could see the top of the stairs from where I stood, as well
as the railing that ran alongside the hallway to keep someone from falling into
the stairwell from upstairs.
Courtesy of the nightlight down
in the entry way (it came in handy when I wanted a drink in the middle of the
night) I saw a shadow move against the wall, the figure was large and distorted
against the tall bare wall of the stairwell.
Up until that point I hadn’t
been certain someone was in the house.
But now I couldn’t deny it.
There was a robber in my house.
He for sure had nefarious plans.
Too bad for him I had a really
shitty night and wasn’t in the mood.
As his foot stepped on the
bottom stairs I slinked out of the door and along the wall, keeping my eyes
trained on the top of the stairs. He began climbing the stairs (I was very
unimpressed with his quietness, or rather lack thereof.) and as he climbed I
slipped along the wall, moving through the darkness until I was standing in the
corner directly across from the top of the stairs.
I
saw his shoulders appear as he continued upwards. He was wearing a dark coat
and a dark hat… he was nothing but a large ominous shape in the night.
I swallowed, the sound of my
saliva scraping down my dry throat made me wince and my palms were sweaty,
causing me to tighten my grip on my weapons.
