After Hours

**Discover heart-racing intrigue in this Thriller Short of romantic suspense.

Originally published in LOVE IS MURDER (2013),

edited by #1** New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown.

In this Thriller Short, bestselling author William Bernhardt shows how hidden love can lead to happiness—or death. Morelli and Baxter are partners on the Tulsa police force. But what no one knows is that they are partners in private, too. Together they are called in to work the murder of Kim Masters, but Masters’s blameless life leads to no suspects. Her lover, Terry Farnum, appears bereft and has no motive. If anything, it’s Farnum, deep in debt to the mob, who should be dead, not Masters. And that’s just one anomaly among many in Masters’s case.
