Lure

by Carolina Valdez

Carolina Valdez brings readers a contemporary tale of undercover lovers, hot passion and chilling suspense. To lure the killer of two women into the open and find evidence of illegal gun sales by the owner of a seedy bar called Pinky’s Club, the ATF Bureau sends Special Agent Karin Woodhall under as an exotic dancer. Unfortunately, Angelo, her new back-up finds her too sensual to resist. Anguished over her safety in the dangerous world of bikers, drugs and weapons, Angelo ignores the powerful woman’s ability to protect herself and demands she withdraw from the job. Karin adamantly refuses, setting up a tension between them that heightens the danger as they work this assignment.

About the author

Carolina Valdez warns not to be fooled by the photo. "Even if you walk most of the race, you want to be sure to break into a run for the camera." Although most of her running days have morphed into walking days, she's completed over a hundred distance races - six of them marathons. Her short story about a murder on the streets she's actually competed on, in the Los Angeles Marathon, appears in LAndmarked for Murder, an anthology produced by the Sisters in Crime/Los Angeles chapter.

After a varied career as a registered nurse while winning awards and making sales writing freelance, she decided to retire to finish her first novel. Now she writes about searing passions and the sweetly explosive ecstasies of love.
