About the Book
Title: Frittered Moments
Series: Love and Danger in St. Claire #5
Author: Allison Pearl
Publisher: Anaiah Press, LLC
Release Date: October 23, 2023
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Deputy US Marshal, Perry Cole is back in the small town of St. Claire, and he didn’t come alone. Joined by the FBI and a witness who could crack his case wide open, Perry hopes to finally track down one of the most elusive criminals he’s ever targeted. But just as the hunt begins, a murder derails his plans. Now he must partner with the cute-but-snarky Deputy Sheriff Erin Kaminski to find the killer. Perry quickly finds himself getting distracted by the feelings Erin stirs up in him, and if he doesn’t get his head back in the game, one of them may end up at the top of the murderer’s hit list.
The locals wanted someone else for the Deputy Sheriff position, but Erin Kaminski knows in her heart that St. Claire is where she’s meant to be. And finally, just as she becomes a familiar face to the locals, the FBI and US Marshals show up, making trouble. She wants them to do their job and leave, and so she becomes their local liaison. But when someone turns up dead, she wants to be the one calling the investigative shots. Instead, she’s partnered with the admittedly charming, but overly skeptical, marshal who thinks her faith is nothing but fantasy. With Perry’s constant questions and distracting lure, she needs to keep her head clear enough to see the danger creeping her way—or she’ll end up losing everything.

EXCERPT:
“What are you thinking?” Perry asked Erin.
“The different criminals the Snitch ripped off over the span of decades, all the dangerous types she would’ve come across from a life spent in organized crime, even members of law enforcement at every level who she routinely humiliated. That’s hundreds of people with a motive to kill Laney Hicks, and yet, something tells me her murderer lives right here in St. Claire.”
Her gaze left the couple and moved to Perry. Her deep brown eyes widened. She studied him, and he saw a flash of vulnerability and worry. Like she feared what the door that’d been opened would lead to. Was this an involuntary crack in her assertive foot-always-on-the-gas attitude, or was this transparency? A fearlessness to not balk or deny the hard truths in life. A need to put her at ease swelled inside him. Perry swallowed.
“Sounds like you’ve done all the hard work, then.” A feather-sized wisp of her dark chocolate hair floated on a gust of icy wind.
“How do you figure?”
“You’ve eliminated the majority of our suspect list.” He nudged her with an elbow. “We’ll probably have this wrapped up by suppertime.”
She crinkled her nose as though deciding whether he was being serious and then chuckled. “If we manage that, dinner’s on you.”
Perry winked. “Deal.”
