She follows the rules. He breaks every one. Together, they’re explosive.
San Francisco Homicide Inspector Rebecca Mayfield lives by the book—until Richie Amalfi walks back into her life. When she finds him standing over a corpse, gun in hand, he swears he’s innocent… and then promptly escapes custody.
Minutes later, he’s at her apartment—still in handcuffs, still trouble, and still impossible to resist. Against all logic, Rebecca lets herself get dragged into Richie’s whirlwind hunt for the real killer. From glittering nightclubs to back-alley dives, they’re dodging gangsters, chasing down missing bookies, and barely surviving shootouts.
Richie may be a smooth-talking fugitive with shady connections, but the more Rebecca uncovers, the less convinced she is of his guilt—and the more dangerously she’s drawn to him. Now, she’s racing to catch a killer before the killer catches her… or before she loses her badge and her heart.
One O’Clock Hustle launches the fast-paced, funny, and flirty Inspector Rebecca Mayfield series—perfect for fans of mysteries with sparks of romance and a dash of humor.
