Are you ready to go deep and feel the burn?
From USA Today bestselling author Kimberly Kincaid comes DOWN DEEP, the next standalone title in the Station Seventeen series, releasing June 18th! Grab you copy today!
Ian Gamble has a past he’d rather forget—which is exactly what he’s doing at The Crooked Angel Bar and Grill when the place catches fire. Between his active duty in the Marines and his experience as a firefighter, his instincts get him and hot, headstrong bar manager, Kennedy Matthews, to safety. But those same instincts kick into high gear when the fire is ruled an arson, and he discovers Kennedy’s got secrets of her own.
The only thing that matters more to Kennedy than her bar is her brother. When she finds out he’s in over his head with a dangerous arsonist, she’ll do anything to keep him safe—even if it means teaming up with Gamble, who’s too sharp-eyed and hard-bodied for his own good. With every step, their attraction flares hotter and the risks grow more dangerous. Can Gamble and Kennedy face their fears—and their secrets—to catch a terrifying enemy? Or will they go down in flames?
EXCERPT
Watching his friends head back toward
the pool table, he couldn’t help but shake his head a little at the idea of a
relationship that deep. Sexual attraction, he got. A couple of hot-sex hookups
here and there to satisfy said attraction? He got those, too. But the sort of
no-holds-barred love that McCullough and Capelli and a few other members of
Seventeen had tumbled into lately seemed as alien to him as little green men,
complete with flying saucers and moon dust.
People swore they saw that shit;
hell, they believed it in their bones. But as far as he was concerned, they
were all fucking crazy.
“Well, well. Lieutenant Gamble.
Aren’t you a sight for sore eyes?”
The throaty, feminine voice hit
Gamble point-blank from the business end of the bar, and God damn it, he
must have more of a beer buzz than he’d thought. He was almost always
hyper-aware of his surroundings—especially when they involved someone as sexy
as Kennedy Matthews. Yet, here she was in front of him, wearing a form-fitting
red top and a brash, brows-up stare, and for a fleeting second, he wondered if
her smile tasted as tart as it looked.
“If you say so,” he told her, while
snuffing out the unbidden thought. Not that he hadn’t entertained it dozens of
times before, or thought about tasting Kennedy in places other than her mouth.
But as the manager and head bartender of their regular hangout, she was almost
as much a part of his inner circle as his fellow firefighters, and—like his
rookie—Gamble knew far better than to muddy that water with a good, fast fuck.
“Can I get another beer, please?”
Kennedy’s darkly lined eyes widened
for just a heartbeat before narrowing over the frost-covered bottle in his
hand, the piercing in her eyebrow glinting in the soft overhead light of the
bar.
“That one is nearly full.”
“Not for long.” He was already on his
way to a decent beer buzz, courtesy of the bartender who had been working this
section of the bar before Kennedy had come out of the back. He’d stick to beer
for now to keep a low profile. Once everyone from Seventeen started heading
home in a little while, he’d kick his night into high gear.
Kennedy paused. She was tougher than
she looked, which was saying something since she had as much ink and even more
hardware than Gamble did, with a watercolor tattoo that spanned from the middle
of her bicep to her shoulder and the top of her chest, and tiny silver studs
and hoops marching all the way up her left ear to match the piercing in her
eyebrow. But he returned her calculating stare with one of his own, until she
lifted one sleekly muscled shoulder and let it drop.
“It’s your liver, tough guy.”
She reached into the cooler built in beneath the bar, popping the cap off the
beer she’d unearthed and placing it over a napkin on the glossy wood in front
of him before turning to saunter off. Gamble watched her go, his eyes lingering
on the way her ass filled out her jeans like a fuckable version of an
upside-down heart. He couldn’t deny being tempted. Shit, he’d have to be
pulseless not to be. But even if he did decide to break his personal
protocol and see if Kennedy was up for blowing off a little steam between the
sheets, it wouldn’t be tonight.
Tonight wasn’t about anything other
than him, a bottle of Patrón Platinum, and the ghosts he’d never shake.
Down Deep was the first book that I've read by Kimberly Kincaid and I loved it!
It has a hot firefighter as the hero and a sassy and feisty bartender/bar manager as the heroine. The heat between these two is off the charts!
Ian Gamble and Kennedy Matthews find themselves in the crosshairs of a serial arsonist and it makes for one incredible romantic suspense! This book kept me on the edge of my seat all the way through. It was hard to put down, even when my eyes refused to stay open any longer!
Even though this is book four in the series, it can be read as a standalone.
I highly recommend this book and can't wait to read more about Station 17!
