Hey all, today it's Marilyn Baron's turn to visit my blog. She's sharing the blurp, excerpt and a YouTube video of The Alibi. So, grab your favorite drink, pull up a chair and find out about this book!

​Blurb:
Merritt Saxe, newly hired public relations specialist with the Florida prison system, answers an urgent plea from their division’s director, Willard Ware Baintree. Following his orders, she finds him in the apartment of his mistress, his bloody T-shirt and the mistress’s dead body convincing her the criminal justice superstar is himself a criminal. The director claims he didn’t kill the woman and coerces Merritt into being his alibi. Meanwhile, as the director pulls her farther into his web of lies, Merritt breaks with her longstanding boyfriend and begins a steamy relationship with hunky attorney Israel Goodspeed, whose brother works for the director. Yet how can she trust Israel with her secret or her heart when she suspects the director has been orchestrating their relationship to keep her in line? Speaking out about the cover-up could cost her more than time in jail…it could cost her life.
​
Excerpt:
Tear tracks stained his face. Blood stained his white T-shirt. His eyes were glazed over. He appeared to be in shock. He looked like hell.
 
“Director, are you all right?”
 
He didn’t answer.
 
“Director Baintree,” I shouted, “are you hurt?” My raised voice blew him out of his stupor and back into battle mode.
 
“What the hell does it look like? No, I’m not all right. I need you to take me home.”
 
“Where’s Miss Braddock? Does she need a ride somewhere?”
 
“Miss Braddock?” The director appeared confused.
 
“Savannah Braddock. The woman who lives here.”
 
“She’s gone,” he said simply, deflated, his face crumpling.
 
I don’t know what prompted me to do this, but I walked around him and ran from room to room. There weren’t many places to look in that tiny apartment. Apparently, all it needed were the basic necessities—a kitchenette, a bathroom, and of course, a bedroom.
 
That’s where I found her, half naked, sprawled out on the bedspread, a pool of blood soaking the white eyelet duvet cover. And the handle of an oversized kitchen
knife sticking out of her abdomen. I wanted to scream, but no sound came out. I began
hyperventilating. I was going to be sick—I knew I wouldn’t make it into the bathroom.
 
“For God’s sake, stop.” The director walked into the bedroom. He rounded on me, and my breathing calmed, but I continued to stand there, immobilized, staring at the once perfect, now bloody and lifeless body of Savannah Braddock.
