Excerpt:
Tara took a step toward him, her arms softening at her sides. âYouâre a really nice guy, you know that?â
The urge to correct her was strong, but Xander bit it in half and said, âJust doing my job.â
âThe standard answer when someone says âyouâre a nice guyâ is usually âthank youâ.â
The words carried none of her usual heat, filled instead with curiosity, and hell, Xander would take her ire a million times over the beautiful, wide-open look on her face right now. âThank you.â
Another step, and now Tara was right in front of him, close enough to touch. âHow come you donât like being called a nice guy?â
His pulse flared, but that shit about old habits was real.
This time, he stepped toward her, cutting the distance between them to inches. âThe standard answer when someone says âthank youâ is usually âyouâre welcomeâ.â
âOh,â Tara breathed. Her lips parted to release the sound as a sigh, and suddenly, there was nothing in the universe other than him, her, and the red-hot urge to claim her mouth. âYouâre welcome, Xander.â

đReviewđ
Tara works for the Prosecutorâs Office and is dedicated to her job and to ensure that the guilty are punished and that the victims are protected. When Amour, a civilian whose testimony is vital to put a dangerous man behind bars, calls after she is attacked Tara canât get there fast enough.
Xander has overcome his less than ideal past that led to some desperate choices and is now a police officer. When he and Tara both end up at Amourâs apartment the last person, he expected to see is the woman who tried to put him in jail a few years earlier.
Not only do Tara and Xander find themselves dealing with the romantic feelings between them but they are also about to find out that Amour isnât the only one in danger. The romance between Xander and Tara is sweet and sexy and balances perfectly with the intrigue part of the story. It was also great to catch up with the other characters that we know and love.
