My Lusting For Cover pick:
Criminal Promises (Second Chance Detectives series #1)
by Nikki Duncan Web
Purchase Link: Amazon
Blurb:
She's been targeted for murder. Is she the one in need of rescuing?
Seasoned, act-first-ask-questions-later Detective BD Harte is assigned to protect Maggie Sullivan when she’s targeted by an escaped serial killer he’d put away a year earlier. Getting up close and personal with the sensuous widow he felt an inappropriate temptation for threatens BD’s emotional distance. Attraction quickly flares into an irresistible passion, forcing him to wage a battle of self-control, while memories rip open an old wound, awakening his longing for the life he almost had…and still covets.
After one too many violent taunts shatter her sense of security, single mother Maggie Sullivan invites Detective Harte to conduct his all-night stakeouts from inside her home. When her home is again broken into and she discovers Harte’s been investigating her late husband, she struggles with her attraction to him. But the comfort she finds in his arms, his understanding and tenderness, and the passion he awakens triggers yearnings she’d long ago given up on…and still desires.
Can two wounded hearts come together as one in time… Or will the killer seeking a powerful key to nuclear weaponry ensure they never have the chance?

Why:
One word. HOT! This book was a recommend read to me by Barnes & Nobles based of my last purchase. Honestly I did check out this book because of the cover. I ended up checking out more books from Nikki Duncan and purchased Sounds to Die By (Sensory Ops series #1). So far I am loving it. I read the Excerpt for Criminal Promises and caught my attention. So I will be reading this next. Nikki Mentioned on her blog that her cover model was exactly how she pitured BD Harte. Nice now I will have a sweet visusal of BD when I read it. Love it when authors tell us who the cover models are.
Scott Nova is the Cover model. Here are some yummy pics to
