Love turns up in all the wrong places...at just the right time.
Growing up a police chief's daughter, Kaylee Stephens saw firsthand how arrogant cop attitudes affect a marriage. Not for her, no sir. But when a priceless, pre-Columbian statue comes up missing, the day-school teacher finds herself in the middle of a police investigation. And face-to-face with sexy Detective Lucas Blackfox, her brothers' old high school chum.
She had nothing to do with the crime, despite the fact that she—up until very recently—was engaged to the number one suspect. Once that's cleared up, she plans to return to her peaceful, cop-less life.
Luc can't seem to keep Kaylee out of his thoughts, and it's not just because every time he and his partner turn over a new stone in the case, Kaylee shows up. She's grown from the pig-tailed tagalong he once knew to a woman he'd like to know better.
His quest to convince her he's not just a typical cop is right on track toward making her a permanent fixture in his arms...until the missing statue's legendary curse drops an emotional bomb that could destroy everything.
Warning: This book contains steamy love scenes between a cop and a woman who refuses to date men in uniform. Clear your schedule, readers, you're gonna want to get out the cuffs after this one.
