Danger. Corruption. Passion.
When an explosion unearths human remains – and almost lands them in the morgue – historical preservationist Samantha Jordon and San Antonio police detective Nick Ballard reluctantly team up to investigate.
Since the case is as cold as the corpse, Samantha turns to the cutting-edge science of genetic genealogy to unravel the dark history of a gruesome unsolved murder and identify the body. But Nick is obstructing her at every turn. Then a targeted hit and run and a break-in force them to seek refuge in San Antonio’s forgotten historic sites and underground tunnels.
Despite their differences, Samantha is falling for the jaded detective. And Nick cares for her more than he should. But coming clean about his past—and the reason he’s been dragging his feet during the investigation—could end his career and put his deceased partner’s family in jeopardy.

Somatic Therapy Workbook
by Ava Walters
Kindle $0.99 Rating: 4.8 #ad
At this exact moment, your body is trying to tell you something – are you listening?
It doesn’t speak in words, but it IS communicating – through tight shoulders, shallow breaths, chronic headaches, clenched jaws, restless legs, sleep issues, gut problems, extra weight, fatigue, emotional numbness, a feeling of heaviness that just won’t go away, and many more.
These are somatic messages—your body’s way of saying, “I’m NOT okay.” And somatic therapy helps you understand and respond to these messages, enabling you to finally experience a true sense of calm and relief.
