Crimes & Cocktails Books

Blind ex-SFPD detective Gabriel Sandalini has a problem with his lover Antonio going off on a dangerous trip without him. Hot tub sex, plain and simple. AUTHOR NOTE: This short story, first published in 2007, was the inspiration for MEXICAN HEAT, the first in the CRIMES & COCKTAILS Series. Portions of the story as you read here don't fit the eventual storyline that evolved when the first book in the series became a collaboration, but it's still a hot tale of wet fun.

A new romantic crime series from the combined, finely blended talents of popular award winning authors Laura Baumbach and Josh Lanyon. Tough, street-smart SFPD Detective Gabriel Sandalini is willing to do whatever it takes to bring down West Coast crime boss Ricco Botelli - including a dangerous, deep undercover gig as one of Botelli's hired guns. But Gabriel's best laid plans may come crashing down around him when he falls hard for the sexy, suave lieutenant of a rival Mexican drug lord. Turns out his new love interest may have a few secrets of his own: secrets that could destroy both men and the fragile bond between them.
