Pink Neon

When Cecily Brown roared into the vacation hotspot of Branson, Missouri, she had nothing on her mind but distancing herself from her life in Chicago. She planned to make her long standing dreams of owning a boutique called ‘Pink Neon’ come true and forget the decade she spent trapped in a hellish marriage to millionaire jeweler Willard Bradford VI. Yet once she arrives, she finds she’s a minority among the tourists with her corn rowed braids and dark skin. But Cecily is determined to stay.Her cousin calls to tell her the news, her ex-husband managed to get murdered on the steps of his mansion but Cecily doesn’t care. Her old life is history and she’s eager to move forward with the grand opening of her boutique. Her first customer at Pink Neon is a man, dark and mysterious. She pegs him for a criminal or a cop but their attraction is intense. So is their first date, which ends in intimacy. Soon she’s all but inseparable from Daniel Padilla. He carries his own old baggage, too.Life’s good until Padilla admits he’s an FBI agent sent to check Cecily out. She reacts with anger but as she learns she’s become the FBI’s favorite suspect, she has to trust Daniel. If she can trust anyone at all. As the investigation heats up, she ends up heading south with him to Texas, then deep into Mexico as she and her FBI lover try to discover who the real killer of her ex-husband might be. But danger lurks and it’s going to get rough before they straighten things out. If they can.
