Closing the Loop comes out from
Riptide next Monday.
Here's a random snippet:
“As my guest, there’s no reason for you to do anything but choose what you like off the menu.”
Lee waggled his finger from side to side. “Uh-huh. That makes it a date. Dates mean I at least get a kiss when it’s over. If you pick up the tab, are you prepared to pucker up too?”
Cole laughed, the sound rich and deep. “It depends on what you eat. If you go for squid, maybe not with tongue.”
“No worries. I make it a rule not to eat anything with more legs than me.”
Cole frowned. “No steaks? Bacon?”
“Cows have two sets of two legs. So do pigs.”
“Logical. Incorrect, absurd even, but logical.”
