Criminal Confections (2014)
“We do.” I jumped in before Travis could deliver whatever bad news had him sounding so ominous. “I’m going to need to make some changes to my cash outflow.” I told him about Bernard’s charity and my offer to match all of today’s donations to it. That went off without a hitch. “And my budget.”
Travis gave a sexy “go ahead” rumble. So I did, watching as Danny put his hands on his hips and strode a few feet away. He might as well have been wearing a NO MONEY TALK T-shirt instead of a suit, because ...his demeanor made it plain that he didn’t want to listen to me dole out my unanticipated fortune.

“I’m not much for prison pen pals.”
“—but he could be really useful to me here. It’s done.”
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t worried about how Travis would react.MoreLess
