By Morgan Brice

Badlands, Book 6

Sexy psychic Simon Kincaide and skeptical homicide detective Vic D’Amato are getting married–if the ghost of a murderous magician doesn’t get them first!

Simon and Vic’s wedding is just a few weeks away, and they’re hoping for a little peace and quiet to wrap up work before their honeymoon, but nothing ever goes that smoothly.

Strange circumstances around the death of a retired stage magician suggest supernatural involvement, bringing Simon in on the case. The dark secrets of a long-ago resort hotel lead to a trail of unsolved cold cases that have a chilling similarity. Old scandals, malicious magic, and vengeful spirits expose a web of lies, deceit, and death that is headed for a reckoning.

Point Blank is a fast-paced thrill ride MM paranormal romance packed with supernatural suspense, sinister sleight-of-hand, mysterious monsters, psychic visions, hot men, hurt/comfort, loyal friends, wedding planning, found family, ghosts galore, dark magic, and an evolving, established romantic relationship with all the feels.

Excerpt:

“Now I know why people elope.” Simon Kincaide studied the email from their caterer with last-minute menu substitutions. His fiancé, Vic D’Amato, split his attention between a how-to video and his image in the living room mirror as he struggled with a bow tie.

 

“I’m not quite desperate enough to elope, but I finally understand the appeal of clip-on bow ties.” Vic sounded resigned and a little chagrined.

“I will tie yours before you commit sacrilege with a clip-on,” Simon replied without looking up from where he sat at the table. “How can shrimp be this expensive? We live at the beach!”

Vic dropped the tie on the table and went to stand behind Simon, casually rubbing his shoulders. Simon leaned into the touch, bending his neck to give Vic full access.

“Vendor problems?” Vic kneaded the tight muscles. Simon closed his eyes and let his head fall back against Vic’s belly.

“Price changes and shipping delays.” Simon sighed. “Supply chain stuff, I guess. And in the grand scheme of things, none of it matters. We’re getting married, that’s what counts.”

“Without shrimp?” Vic feigned horror and then broke out laughing at the annoyed expression Simon gave him.

“I love you enough to marry you without shrimp,” Simon confirmed. “But the chocolate fondue is non-negotiable.”

Vic dropped onto a chair beside Simon and gave him a peck on the cheek. “Honestly, just do the best you can with the catering and don’t stress. My family is likely to show up with a month’s worth of frozen pasta dishes and enough cannoli, pizzelles, and Italian wedding cookies to feed an army because, for us, food is love.”

Simon gave him a look. “If that’s the case, should I be worried you don’t cook more often?” Humor softened his question.

“I grill,” Vic defended. “And I’ve got Mom’s lasagna and spaghetti sauce recipes down pat; I’m just not particularly awesome at anything else. Which is why I survived for so long on takeout and leftovers.”

“You’re awesome enough for me.” Simon pulled Vic in for a kiss.

“Enough of that, or we won’t get anything else done tonight.” Vic’s expression indicated he wouldn’t mind being distracted.

“Rain check. I need to give the caterer a list of acceptable substitutions—type of food and price—tonight, and there’s also something here from the photographer to be reviewed and signed.” Simon sat back in his chair. “I never knew getting married was so exhausting!”

Vic took Simon’s hand and laced their fingers together. “But think how nice it will be to celebrate with our friends, and then we’ll be husbands forever.”

Simon gave him a tired smile. “I know. These are all ‘first-world problems.’ I’m just tired from today at the shop, and I was hoping I could come home and crash.”
