I've been to LA a few times, actually driven through their infamous traffic once or twice, and have seen the famous Santa Monica Pier. I've also been inside the convention center, to the Price is Right, Paleyfest, and walked past the Chinese Theater, which is a lot smaller than its made out to be.None of which helped with what Jules, my heroine in Improper Conduct, saw when she moved there from San Francisco. So I did my research.
Discover LA is a great site for writing and for travel.
Barnsdall Art Park in East Hollywood is perfect for a stroll or a movie. I actually have Jules watch a movie there (Arsenic and Old Lace with the unequaled Cary Grant).
One month on the job--that was all Detective Jules Marshall had with the LAPD but already she knew two things: 1. Her move from San Francisco was the best move she’d ever made. 2. Sleeping with her sexy as hell boss would be a big mistake. That didn’t stop her from wanting him or from acknowledging the same spark of need in his eyes. And Captain Callum Archer had eyes that devoured her.
But when a trio of bank robbers picks LA as their target,
her attraction to Callum takes a back seat. She’s seen this pattern before and
confides in Callum her suspicions. She thought the case had gone cold until it
heated in spectacular fashion; the bank robbers who blew up a car inside a
building and killed at least five people have similar crimes back in San
Francisco. The problem? She has no proof to go with her suspicions.
Despite Callum’s objections, and the increasing
temptation to give into her incredibly improper feelings for her captain, Jules
plans to push ahead with an extremely unorthodox plan--date the killer.
Callum isn’t happy. Jules is the one woman he’d break all
the rules for and he’s more than willing to do so to keep her in his life. When
she puts herself in the crosshairs of a psychotic killer, there isn’t anything
he won’t do to protect her.
But can he keep her safe and still catch the killer? Or
will their improper relationship get in the way of their jobs?
