When Pastor Bob proudly pronounced them husband and husband, Travis kissed his groom and held on to Gage for long minutes afterward.
Today was a day he would always remember, a good day. And while they were still grieving, would be for quite some time, these were baby steps to moving forward.
<<<— STAY TUNED —>>>
I hope you enjoyed the fifth installment of the Off the Books Task Force. As you can imagine, this one was the hardest one for me to write. I shed more tears than I can count through every page, but that doesn’t surprise me since the Walkers have kept me on an emotional roller coaster all these years.
There’s definitely more to come for Brantley and Reese, JJ and Baz, Trey and Magnus, and the rest of the task force. Each book in this series is a full-length novel involving a new case and the continuation of the relationships between them all. And I promise not to keep you waiting long for each installment.
If you enjoyed Alibi, please consider leaving a review.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Of course, I have to thank my wonderfully patient husband, who puts up with me every single day. If it wasn’t for him and his belief that I could (and can) do this, I wouldn’t be writing this today. He has been my backbone, my rock, the very reason I continue to believe in myself. I love you for that, babe.
Chancy Powley – You were the guinea pig for this book, the one who read a concept I’ve never written before. Because I know you’ll give me your true, unbiased input, I didn’t know what to expect. When I saw your response, I was overwhelmed in the best possible way. Thank you for not only being a wonderful beta reader, but for being my friend.
Jenna Underwood — Because you continue to be my friend despite the fact that I am the world’s worst friend. Thank you for always being there for me and for the postcards. They make me smile.
I also have to thank my street team – Naughty (and nice) Girls – Your unwavering support is something I will never take for granted.
I can’t forget my copyeditor, Amy at Blue Otter Editing. Thank goodness I’ve got you to catch all my punctuation, grammar, and tense errors.
Nicole Nation 2.0 for the constant support and love. You’ve been there for me from almost the beginning. This group of ladies has kept me going for so long, I’m not sure I’d know what to do without them.
And, of course, YOU, the reader. Your emails, messages, posts, comments, tweets… they mean more to me than you can imagine. I thrive on hearing from you, knowing that my characters and my stories have touched you in some way keeps me going. I’ve been known to shed a tear or two when reading an email because you simply bring so much joy to my life with your support. I thank you for that.
