Growing up, Elle Hudson lost herself in books as a form of escape after two separate tragedies claimed the life of her father and her brother. Her love of reading eventually blossomed into a successful writing career. Now she is in the Poconos doing research for a new series with police officers as her heroes. They held a special place in her heart. Too bad the cop assigned to take her on ride-a-longs is as arrogant as he is handsome.
Jeremy Mercer was ten when his father died in the line of duty and his mother moved him and his sister from NYC to the Poconos. To serve and protect is in his blood, so it was only natural for him to follow in his father’s footsteps and become a cop. He also joined the National Guard, because helping people is his calling in life. Being assigned liaison to a romance author isn’t part of that calling. Besides, he doesn’t like writers—doesn’t trust them. Too bad the woman he’s stuck babysitting is as beautiful as she is sweet, unless she’s putting on a front like his ex.
Elle is there to write romance, not look for it, but there is no denying the chemistry between her and Jeremy. Even though they agree to do just that they accidentally fall into bed…several times. Not smart, especially when he opens up about his past and she realizes just how deep their connection runs.
Falling for Jeremy could be a mistake. How will he react when he finds out it was her brother his father had died trying to save? Will he view it as a sign that they were meant to be together? Or will he want nothing to do with her and walk away?
