JUNE, 2020 DARK ENERGY By: Addison Brae The Plot: Cybercrime doesn‘t talk. It creeps in and destroys lives right under Gillian‘s nose when a cryptojacking scheme lands her boss, Pinkie, in jail. Gillian had just started over with a new career, boyfriend, and confidence after escaping a vicious murder investigation that shattered her ability to trust. Then Pinkie‘s arrest leaves her struggling to run his two bars while also unraveling the conspiracy. Gillian will not let her mentor and friend go down for something he didn‘t do. Neither will Jon, the most talented musician on the bar‘s stage and the perfect boyfriend...until his good fortune sends her reeling. Gillian forces herself to trust the cops, people who hurt her, and known criminals. Will it be enough to free Pinkie and save her life? An Excerpt The safe clicks closed, and I make sure the red light is glowing on the server tucked away in the corner with our new miracle restaurant management software. The crew hates it. The software is supposed to help us plan profitable marketing campaigns and stock the right inventory. It‘s a brain buster and sounds like marketing BS. I promised Pinkie to make the most of it. He invested equity in his house, the other bar, and his reputation. Everything‘s riding on this opening. No pressure. It‘s time for another set of new rules to live by for my latest fresh start. Rule one of my new fresh start—nothing will get in the way of success. No guys will try to break my heart. I‘ll use the confidence I‘ve worked so hard to build. And if fate cooperates, no scandals and none of our regulars will turn up dead. Reviews Welcome.
