“When have you and I ever had good ideas?”

The door to Ruby’s opened and shut again and she sighed. Did she really want to argue this in a public place?

“Almost never,” she admitted.

“Forty-eight hours. That’s my deal, Ell. You spend the weekend with me, and at the end of it I’ll sign your precious papers. You’ll be free as a bird, as you said.”

They both have courage…until it comes to love.

 

First Responders, Book 4

RCMP officer Matt Parker is weary from years of soul-draining work undercover and on special task forces. He’d like to erase one of his recent cases from his memory forever, but it haunts him night and day.

A temporary assignment to cover for an officer on maternity leave could be the small-town, low-demand break he needs to put the past behind him. Especially with the sexy local vet, who makes him forget everything but the way her body feels in his arms.

Lindsay Snow can’t help but notice the new cop in her small town—he’s hot, charming and—best of all—he’s not in town for long. When a call to shut down a horrific puppy mill exposes the tough, sexy cop’s dark memories, Lindsay’s heart wants desperately to reach out to him. Even as her instincts remind her that relationships are just a train wreck waiting to happen…

 

Warning: Contains a tortured hero hot enough to melt even the toughest woman’s resolve.
