Taking the case means appealing to investigator “Just Call Me Kelly” for help. That wouldn’t be so bad if Kelly weren’t a hopeless romantic… and the hottest man Clayton’s ever met.
Kelly has always had a crush on the unobtainable Clayton Reynolds. He agrees to help, even though he has enough on his plate with the motherless baby his widowed brother left him to care for.
As Nadine’s case turns dangerous and the two seemingly opposite men are forced to work together, they discover they have a great deal in common—but solving the case and saving Nadine’s life might cost Kelly everything.

Post Content:
First of all, thank you so much for having me! I’m thrilled to be here with my stand-alone contemporary suspense Every Other Weekend. Every now and again an author (or at least THIS author) gets characters who drop fully formed and already opinionated into your brain. It happened with my Digging up Bones series, and again with Clayton and Kelly (and Baker, who was so much to write for that he has to get an honourable mention) in this book. Trust me, this was originally meant to be a much sillier book. There were hijinks planned, but Clayton almost immediately established he wasn’t into the ‘jinks.
Anyhow, I thought that since I loved these guys so much? You guys might like to learn a few important bits and pieces about them. Let’s kick it off with Clayton.
Five Facts about Clayton
1: Clayton decided to become a lawyer when he was eight years old and his ‘Uncle’ Jim got sent down for six years after he robbed a gas station. It was the first time in his life he’d seen anyone who seemed like they were in control of their lives and themselves. He wanted that. When he was fifteen he realised he could make more money as a divorce lawyer, and he wanted that too.
2: There wasn’t a lot that Clayton was sorry to leave behind in Utah. The long desert nights, the long desert road, and fry sauce. Nobody in LA knows, or cares, about the condiment, and it doesn’t exactly match his new persona. Still, Clayton has a jar of it hand-mixed in the fridge that he indulges in now and again. The recipe was the only thing his grandfather had to hand down, and even then the old man had stolen it from a greasy spoon he worked in once.
3: Clayton says he hasn’t heard from his family back in Utah since he left. Before that actually, not since he was put into care. That’s not entirely true. He got an envelope in the mail just after he moved to LA, before he went to work at Baker’s law firm, the address was scrawled in his mother’s left-slanted scrawl. It smelled like her too, tequila and Estee Lauder Youth-Dew. He never opened it—he didn’t want to know what it said—but he never threw it away either.
4: For someone who plotted out his education and career in detail as a pretty young kid, and stuck to that plan, he’s never really planned for ‘a’ future. The future, sure. He has investments, he has a timeline to become a partner, he practices safe sex and cut down on salt. His future though? What he wanted to do with that partner cash or what the house he’d spend his low-sodium extended old age in would be like? No, he never planned for that. The furthest he got was a vague thought he should buy a boat one day. It seemed like the thing to do.
5: Clayton’s favourite TV show, on the rare occasions he gets the time, is Law and Order. Divorce law pays well and has better hours, but he’ll admit that criminal law looks more exciting. Although his conscience is tender enough over making what he’d have regarded as monopoly money wages as a kid. If he had to salve it for making that amount defending douchebags, he’d never make his billable hours again.

TA Moore -
TA Moore is a Northern Irish writer of romantic suspense, urban fantasy, and contemporary romance novels. A childhood in a rural, seaside town fostered in her a suspicious nature, a love of mystery, and a streak of black humour a mile wide. As her grandmother always said, ‘she’d laugh at a bad thing that one’, mind you, that was the pot calling the kettle black. TA Moore studied History, Irish mythology, English at University, mostly because she has always loved a good story. She has worked as a journalist, a finance manager, and in the arts sectors before she finally gave in to a lifelong desire to write.
Coffee, Doc Marten boots, and good friends are the essential things in life. Spiders, mayo, and heels are to be avoided.
