Creature Comforts: A Tai & Trey Story

by Tina Whittle

It was a simple bet, one Trey knew he couldn't lose. After all, Tai had other things on her mind, criminal things; surely she wouldn't devote that much energy into discovering one embarrassing secret from his past.He should have known better."Creature Comforts" is an epilogue to NECESSARY ENDS, the sixth book in the Tai Randolph/Trey Seaver series. Many of the events mentioned offhand throughout will be familiar only to those who have read that particular work. But it's also a prologue of sorts, with Tai sorting out her feelings about a decision that she's barely spoken into reality. As such, it sets the stage for the seventh book in their adventures, Crooked Ways, which I am hard at work upon.In the meantime, please enjoy an idyll at Cumberland Island's Greyfield Inn, where wild horses freely roam, salt scents the air, and a devious criminal plot is underway.

Another good time

Every time I can spend time with Tai and Trey I grab the opportunity !! Tina Whittle has created wonderful characters to inhabit her totally exciting Kennesaw/Atlanta world. Start with the first book in this series and then fall in love!

A quick little novella, but a lot of fun. I LOVE Tai and Trey, and this was classic Tai and Trey.
