I am excited to welcome author Angela McCallister, who is celebrating the release of her second novel, Bad Copy.
A cop who tosses the rulebooks to get his way…
Vampire Ian McCready doesn’t care for Alice Capshaw’s opinions about his version of justice. Her humanity makes her off-limits, but that does nothing to lessen his overwhelming desire for her. To Alice, Ian is just another bad cop as detestable as the one who destroyed her family. She’s attracted to him, yes, but he threatened his way into her agency’s murder case and has too many secrets.
When a new case resurrects ghosts Ian believed long dead and buried, his law-bending ways might result in his execution. The second Alice becomes a target, his cold heart flares into blinding existence. But following the law for her sake may end with devastating results.
Make sure you stick around to the end and enter for a chance to win a New Kindle Fire HD or $139 GC.

Exclusive Excerpt: Bad Cop
A mountainous figure stood in her doorway, framed in darkness. She shrieked and fumbled her coffee cup. When an alarmed Killian stepped into the light, she wrapped her arms around herself, her body quaking
with rampant adrenaline.
“Ohmigod, ohmigod, ohmigod.” She glared at him. He reached for her, but she slapped his hand away. “What’s wrong with you, sneaking up on a woman in a dark, empty building?”
The residual shock put a bite in her voice, but she was too shaken to care. While she waited for her heart rate to slow down, she knelt to clean up the coffee.
“Leave it.” He stepped closer. “I’ll get it.”
She ignored him, though her hands shook too much to be very effective at her task.
“Alice!” The sharp command got her attention. He crouched next to her and took her hands in his. Pulling her up, he folded his arms around her, tucking her firmly against his chest. Warm. So warm and solid. Her arms went around his waist. As he held her, her breaths slowed and deepened.
“You’re safe,” he said. “Sorry I scared you. I just walked in when you turned around. I wasn’t trying to sneak up on you.”
Killian’s exotic burr rumbled under her cheek. Being held like this—it’d been so damned long. God, this was entirely too enjoyable. She didn’t want to let go, the steady rise and fall of his chest soothing. And arousing. He smelled amazing, like sandalwood. Would it be bad to bury her nose against his throat? But she’d already made a big enough fool of herself. She lifted her head from the wall of firm muscle beneath it and had the closest view yet of the perfection of his face. Smooth, lean angles invited the stroke of her fingers, and his eyes had a luminous sparkle. But his eyebrows were drawn and a frown pulled at his lips. A stab of guilt struck her.
“I’m sorry, too. I—”
“It’s all right. Nothing to be sorry for.” His tone was tender, as if calming a wild creature, the low bedroom voice sending tingles along her skin. He stepped out of her embrace, and his arms dropped away from her slowly, as if against his will.
“The lights didn’t come on.” She glanced past him toward her office window.
“They wouldn’t.” He grinned, the boyish charm of his dimples fluttering her stomach. “I move too fast for the motion sensors.”
The pride in his expression made her laugh. “You’d make a great bank robber.”
He lifted an eyebrow, his lips pursing—dear ever-loving god of panty melting. “Never considered that. Want to be my manager? Live a life of crime and extravagance?”
“Sign me up. I could use the extravagance.”

Meet Angela McCallister!
Angela is very laid-back and happy to try just about anything once, from skydiving, sailing, slacklining, Aikido, and even hang-gliding–as long as she doesn’t have to subject anyone to her “singing” or make an appearance in a bikini. Like all authors, she’s crazy for books, especially Romance, and will talk about them for days. She’s currently stationed at Naval Base Ventura County Point Mugu in California where she can be spoiled with some of the best weather in the country. With such platforms as an aircraft carrier, an amphibious ship, and an Aegis destroyer, and duty stations in Illinois, Washington, Hawaii, and California, her experiences vary widely. She’s visited Thailand (a favorite), Bahrain, Dubai, Jebel Ali, Hong Kong, Guam, Canada, Mexico, and Singapore. She’s a member of RWA San Diego, From the Heart Romance Writers, and Rose City Romance Writers and especially loves to hear from and meet readers and fellow authors.
