Frederick, MD May 18, 2012 -- PublishAmerica Is Proud To Present Confidential Bounty

Online, May 25, 2012 (Newswire.com) - PublishAmerica is proud to present Confidential Bounty by Michael Altieri from Anthem, Arizona.

In this thrilling novel, the reclusive life of former homicide detective Brenda Corrino has suddenly leaped from post-traumatic stress disorder recovery to something even worse: murder!

Her ex-partner was investigating the bizarre murder of a college student when he inadvertently let his guard down and now he remains comatose. Brenda recruits an ex-boyfriend, medical examiner Dr. Darren Crowe, to help her find out who tried to kill her partner. Crowe is elated to work closely with Brenda again. He realizes it is an opportunity to get back into her good graces and perhaps into her arms again. They had an intimate relationship before her undercover disaster left her physically and mentally broken. He knows she is dragging around some serious baggage that he needs to help her unload. Now he has another chance and he doesn't plan on squandering it.

This is Altieri's second novel featuring Brenda Corrino, a former homicide detective turned women sleuth. The chemistry with ex-boyfriend Dr. Darren Crowe is great. They can't keep their hands off each other, except when Corrino's past creeps back into her head.

Confidential Bounty is an excellent summer read because it has it all. It is first and foremost a suspenseful mystery that will keep you guessing until the very end. Then the electricity between Corrino and Crowe is a great romantic turn-on. She's a smart, sexy, funny, 30 something woman who knows what it takes to solve a crime and isn't afraid to use every weapon she possesses.
