Interview\u2014Finn and Amy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s interview the hero of Deadly Alliance,\u00a0 Finbar Donahue.<\/u><\/em><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Nickname: Finn. My full name is Finbar Michael Donahue.<\/li>\n
  2. Job: I own my own investment company, but who\u2019s the chickenshit stealing money from me? My goal is to find the thief.<\/li>\n
  3. Level of schooling: B.A. in finance, former Army Ranger. That was when I targeted a known enemy. Believe me, it\u2019s harder now.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I\u2019ve got a few questions for the heroine, Amy Kintyre.<\/u><\/em><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. What\u2019s your dream job? I want to get my sportswear design business back on track. A few days ago a buyer phoned me and gave me an opportunity to present my line.\u00a0 I need a nine-to-five with evenings and weekends off to sew mockups.<\/li>\n
    2. Is that why you applied for Finbar Donahue\u2019s bookkeeping job? Yes, but I have a huge problem.\u00a0\u00a0 Last night I found a sketchy bank account belonging to my late boyfriend, Les.\u00a0 He and Finn were partners.<\/li>\n
    3. Would you enjoy working for Finn? No, but there aren\u2019t many job openings in Lake Arrowhead.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Short excerpt– Amy\u2019s first day working for Finn<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

      Hours later, Finn straightened his spine as he listened to his new bookkeeper order Rosenberg around with the authority of an Army lieutenant. She spoke with confidence from her chair and waited for answers with intensity. Somehow she came across larger than her delicate self.<\/p>\n

      \u201cBrad,\u201d his pretty war buddy said, \u201cI\u2019ll need your password to access activity-to-date.\u201d Her attitude wasn\u2019t for show. Her curiosity propelled her to the depths of the drain. Heaven help those who lurked there.<\/p>\n

      \u201cSure thing.\u201d Brad blew out a breath and scribbled his password on a sticky note. Handing it to her, he bent to her level.<\/p>\n

      She said, \u201cI apologize for causing chaos.\u201d<\/p>\n

      \u201cNo apology necessary.\u201d Brad asked, \u201cWhat are you working on?\u201d<\/p>\n

      Jumping in, Finn said, \u201cComparisons, Rosenberg, that\u2019s what she\u2019s working on.\u201d Unholy as she\u2019d undoubtedly turn out to be, at the moment they were forged in combat. \u201cGive her your full support.\u201d<\/p>\n

      \u201cAbsolutely. Consider me your scaffold,\u201d Rosenberg said, accepting his fate. \u201cExcuse me, won\u2019t you? I\u2019m running payroll.\u201d<\/p>\n

      Finn liked his head accountant. He was solid. Dependable. Not creative, but his easy-going manner was soothing. \u201cPayroll. You\u2019re a masochist.\u201d<\/p>\n

      Amy smiled, and her crystal-green gaze sought his. She found his comment amusing. Her professional attire included a gray satin blouse tucked into a herringbone skirt. When she moved, her layered, dark-blonde hair settled into a sleek flip over her shoulders.<\/p>\n

      Amy\u2019s bending and reaching, as she took control of her four-by-four cubicle, was damn compelling. She found a rhythm with a handy notepad beside her computer. Using Brad\u2019s password, she turned sideways to open files. Attractive summed up her symmetrical profile and creamy complexion.<\/p>\n

      For a long while, getting hot and heavy had not been on his mind. Her envelope gave him concrete evidence to bring to the sheriff and eased his tension. As she brushed tresses off her face, he wanted to nibble on her ear.<\/p>\n

      Amy packed her lithe frame with succulent curves. He enjoyed observing her ample bust which required high-performance support. He\u2019d like to see those globes running free. He\u2019d never considered her as dating material. Timing was off. When she started dating Les, he was hooking up with Miss California. Now it was too late. She worked for him. Hands off. Finn liked women\u2014lots of women, all women, in all shapes and sizes and ethnicities as long as they met the enthusiasm requirement. He hadn\u2019t tested this, but she was off-limits for another reason. He didn\u2019t intend to put her through another relationship leading to nowhere.<\/p>\n

      Finn kept things loose. A woman in his bed but not in his life was what he often said. There hadn\u2019t been that either.\u00a0 Why was she looking at him like that?<\/p>\n
