Synopsis

Aldric Beamer thought working in an antique shop would be safe and boring. He never expected to find his life—or his heart—in danger… Being the low man on the totem pole is nothing new for Aldric Beamer. The youngest of three siblings, he was always the afterthought in his family, but Aldric's trying hard not to let the little confidence he has sink any lower. Aldric loves the job he managed to land at Intrinsic Value, so much so that he often works off the clock—or maybe he doesn't want to go home to his empty apartment. Just as he's slowly learning to trust his boss and co-workers, he's attacked outside the store, and all the security he thought he had vanishes with the force of a blow to the head. San Antonio cop Darrell Williams takes one look at the beautiful, bruised man he finds in a dingy alley behind an antiques store, and something in his heart melts. This weakness scares him, making Darrell gruff and indifferent when he should have been—and longs to be—compassionate and caring. Aldric's no pushover, though. He's had enough of being ignored and treated like he doesn't matter as much as everyone else. And he'll make damn sure Patrol Officer Williams doesn't dismiss him in any way…

This was a new adventure for me with this author. I did find the ending and the story telling of the past through the journal discovery a nice element. I was at some points though thinking this archaeological theme was painstakingly slow. The reveal of information felt at times to be timed in compar......more

This is the first mystery in the Faye Longchamp mystery series. I reviewed number six in the series earlier in the year and though I wasn't lost, I was interested enough in the relationships, especially Faye's husband Joe Wolf Mantooth to find out more about the series. It took awhile for my library......more

Faye Longchamp may be down on her luck but she is determined to hang onto her ancestral home, Joyeuse, a decaying plantation well hidden on an island off the Florida coast. It isn't entirely clear how the house came into her family but Faye's great-great-grandmother, Cally, a newly freed slave barel......more
