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?

Excerpt:
Chapter 6 excerpt
What’s Pinkie’s Too without Pinkie? The answer is entirely
up to me to figure out. First, get through tonight. Start the band. Keep food
and drinks flowing, so customers stay happy and don’t ask questions. Talk to
each crewmember individually and make them feel secure. We can’t afford to lose
anyone else. Then hope Pinkie is back here tomorrow, laughing about how the
feds are so useless they couldn’t play dead in a cowboy movie.
Before I talk myself out of it, I turn and face the music.
Teran is the first person I encounter.
“Man, what a shocker.” He shakes his head. “Not what I’d
expect from Pinkie. I can open and close, you know, help you manage, handle the
books, whatever you need to cover until he’s back.”
“Uhm, thanks, Teran. I’ll let you know.” I can’t even
process what he’s saying, so I keep walking.
“Ma’am,” a patron says as I pass their table. “Is everything
okay?”
No, everything’s not okay. The cops just yanked my friend,
my mentor, my boss out of the bar on opening weekend. “I’m sure it is. Thank
you for asking. How’s everything?”
