Format: Print & Digital
Synopsis:
As
Station Seventeen’s rookie, Luke Slater knows his fire and EMS training will be
both rigorous and risky, but he never imagined having to partner up with the
one woman he wants to keep at arm’s length most of all. Quinn Copeland is as
wide-open as Luke is reserved. He has no interest in letting the sweet and sexy
paramedic rock his hard-earned control. But the need for composure becomes the
need to survive when they find themselves in the crosshairs of a brutal gang
leader on their first shift together.
Paramedic
Quinn Copeland’s station mates aren’t just her friends. They’re her family.
She’d do anything to keep them safe—including reluctantly trusting her
impossible-to-read, impossibly gorgeous new partner with the one thing she holds
close. As the passion between Luke and Quinn goes from a slow burn to a sizzle,
their steps grow more and more dangerous, both in the fire house and out. Can
they outwit a cold-blooded killer and face the fears that could cost them
everything? Or are they in too deep?

An excerpt from IN TOO DEEP
Copyright © Kimberly Kincaid 2017
Quinn sat in the
passenger seat of Luke’s sleek, dark gray sports car, finally able to breathe
for the first time in hours. The unease that had clutched at her chest,
tightening like a vise with each faked smile and passing minute she’d sat in
the Crooked Angel, was finally loosening, allowing her the luxury of a steady
inhale/exhale without having to hide the truth from the people who were closest
to her. She was in Luke’s car, sitting right beside him. His body was right
there. Warm. Safe. Close enough for her to reach out and run her hand over his
bare forearm, his fingers that were callused in some places, soft in others.
There.
Easy. Breathe…
Luke
pulled into the parking lot beside her apartment building, quieting the engine
without pulling the keys from the ignition. His gaze moved covertly over their
surroundings, mirroring the one Quinn had just sent over the adjacent parking
spaces, the brightly illuminated walkway connecting the parking lot with the
apartment building, the potential spots where someone might lurk or hide.
“Looks
clear.” It was the first thing he’d said since he’d quietly told Isabella and
Hollister he was going to take her home, then paid Kennedy for the beers they
didn’t drink.
Quinn
nodded in agreement. “Mmm hmm.”
Heeding
the detectives’ advice not to dawdle, they both got out of the car, Luke
locking the doors with a click-CLICK of a button on his key fob before
walking her over the paved path leading to the front door of her building. The
tension that had made a playground out of her shoulders faded with each step,
and she and Luke made their way over the threshold, into the elevator, and down
the tastefully carpeted hallway until finally, they were in her apartment.
“Thank
you for bringing me home.” Heat climbed Quinn’s cheeks as she grew aware of how
very alone they were, standing there in her dusky foyer with nothing but the
soft light filtering in from the one bulb she always left lit over the kitchen
sink. But Luke was the only person she didn’t have to hide anything from. The
only person who could get her to breathe. The only person she could be truthful
with.
And
the truth was, she wanted him.
It
seemed completely contradictory that her body should respond in such a primal,
greedy way when her brain was a jumbled mess. That was just the thing, though.
Her thoughts were a mess around her friends. They were a mess when she tried to
work, and they were definitely a mess whenever she remembered the kidnapping.
The only time her mind wasn’t on overdrive was when she thought of Luke,
with his hand on her rib cage and his breath in her ear, as steady as a
heartbeat.
God,
she wanted his touch so badly, she ached.
“Do
you want to talk about what’s going on with you?” he asked, his eyes steady on
hers even through the shadows of her foyer.
“Honestly?”
She stepped toward him and shook her head. “No.”
“Quinn—”
“Please,
just stop. I don’t want to talk about the other day. I don’t even want to think
about it.”
Luke
opened his mouth, likely to argue, but she cut him off before he could say so
much as a syllable. “Look, I’m not stupid, okay? I know I can’t ignore things
entirely. I’m not foolish or flighty enough to think I can magically make the
truth into something it’s not. But you asked me what I need, and right now I
need to not remember what happened, just for a little while.”
A
pause opened between them. Quinn’s heart raced so rapidly she was certain he
had to be able to register the constant thump-thump-thump from where he
stood.
Finally,
he said, “What else do you need?”
For
a question that had the potential to be so complicated, her answer was
shockingly simple, and even though she knew it made her vulnerable, she didn’t
hesitate.
“Just
for tonight, I need to feel something other than scared. I need to remember
what it’s like to feel good.” She moved closer, until she could feel his exhale
coast over her cheek. Yes. This. I need this. “So please, can you stay
for a while and make me feel right again?”
