THE ROCK & ROLL QUEEN OF BEDLAM BY MARILEE BROTHERS

















Goodreads


Amazon 






SYNOPSIS



Trash-talking, soft-hearted teacher Allegra Thome won’t let anything get in

the way of her search for her missing student, least of all her attraction to

Sloan, a rough-around-the-edges but totally irresistible DEA agent with an

agenda entirely his own.

BABY, COME AND GET IT

Meet Allegra Thome. A teacher for behavior-disordered teens by day and a

karaoke singer by night, this leggy blonde knows just where to find

trouble—like Sloan, a tough, sexy DEA agent, in the middle of a drug bust.

He clears her of all charges, but their intense chemistry leads to some

passionate encounters in…unusual locations.

Their unorthodox romance is put on hold when one of Allegra’s students,

Sara Stepanek, goes missing. Through cryptic messages and bizarre codes

in a journal the girl hints at psychological manipulation and foul play, and

suddenly Allegra doesn’t know who to trust. Even Sloan has his own reasons

for wanting to find Sara. Time is running out in the frantic search, and Allegra

will learn the answers she seeks are more shocking—and deadly—than she

could ever imagine.

KEYNOTE

Leggy, karaoke-signing Allegra Thome spends her days teaching

dysfunctional teens and her nights with wealthy new boyfriend, Michael.

The rough patch following Allegra’s divorce is over, and life is grand. But

when Allegra lands in the middle of a drug bust and meets Sloan, a rough-

around-the-edges DEA agent and, later that day, a kid from her class

disappears, things quickly head south. Sloan, who has the tact of a

roadside bomb, is attracted to Allegra and alienates Michael. To make

matters worse, nobody seems to care that Allegra’s student, Sara Stepanek,

is missing. Allegra’s search for Sara becomes a race against time with dead

bodies piling up and her own life in peril.

Short Excerpt



“Panty hose are a tool of the devil. On a tall woman, the crotch hangs at knee level, so she’s forced to crouch and shuffle like Quasimodo. If a woman’s vertically challenged, the things slither downward, pooling around her ankles like a reptilian second skin. My troubles began with panty hose.”
