Stilettos & Whiskey

My name may be Julie Garza, but I'm a member of the Stone family through and through. I was only eight years old when my parents were murdered and I came to live with them. It was then I vowed to make law enforcement my life's work and bring my birth parents' killer to justice. But I've been a Maricopa County Sheriff's deputy for five years now, and so far, that hasn't happened. My personal life isn't much better. I've been in love with my adopted brother, Lucas Stone, since I was thirteen, but he thinks of me more like an annoying kid sister than a full-grown woman, but what can I do? I had gotten good at suppressing my feelings until the kiss. For a brief moment, I thought he had feelings for me too, until he puked on my sneakers. Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse. I find myself in the crosshairs of a murderous deputy and my estranged grandfather gets released from prison and promptly sues for custody of me. Hello? Did he forget I'm an adult? Law enforcement isn't for the fainthearted. Are you brave enough to enter my world? This time Armageddon is coming to Arizona.
