'Mr. and Mrs. Smith' meets 'The Da Vinci Code'

My first two releases in 2020 are about the Codex team! If you haven't met the team yet - don't fret! The first Codex book - BEHIND THE VEIL - is live on Amazon and free in KU. Think Mr. and Mrs. Smith meets The Da Vinci Code. Sexy, undercover librarian-detectives hunt down wealthy, eccentric book thieves - with all the steamy closet-sex you've come to expect from a Kathryn Nolan romance (wink!)

Keep your eyes peeled for a book announcement next month!

Please enjoy this hot snippet from Behind the Veil...

Our feet moved back and forth, our bodies pushed together as one as I stared into Delilah’s eyes. This was all part of the game, all part of my job—seducing her, seducing the crowd into believing our love was real. At least, that was the lie I told myself when I brushed my lips against her cheek.

“How come no one ever taught you how to dance?” I asked.

“I haven’t dated anyone who ever wanted to dance with me.”

She was tilting her neck, and I was entranced with the column of her throat—the line of her collarbone, the pale flesh disappearing beneath the beads. I wanted to caress her fluttering pulse point but held off. The minute my lips touched such an intimate place on Delilah’s body, I was going to permanently lose any remnants of this charade.
There’d be no more pretending between us.

“I don’t have a ton of experience with passion or romance.” Delilah beheld our joined hands, the diamonds of her ring twinkling. “I wasn’t sure I’d do a good job undercover because of it.”

“Because you couldn’t fake being married?”

“No.” Our lips hovered an inch apart. “I wasn’t sure I could fake being in love.”

I’d worried about this too. And yet even at our most awkward, our partnership had held the shape of something comfortable; a natural texture that made becoming the Thornhills easier and easier for me.

Delilah’s gown swished across the floor as we danced closer and closer to the string quartet. The opening melody of Etta James’s “At Last” swirled around us, serving only to loosen my tongue. “It’s not hard to pretend when you’re the most beautiful woman in this entire room, Delilah.”
