Detective Jared Manning met his match at a bar. After a night of passion, she sneaks out of his bed without so much as a note. Problem is, now he canโt find her.
Kindergarten teacher Melody Nash doesnโt do one night stands. Embarrassment gets the best of her and she lies about her name.
When they collide at her school, Mel resists his pull. She wonโt risk her heart on the obvious playboy, even though she canโt stop thinking about the night in his arms.
Stress engulfs both Jaredโs personal and professional life. His brother is at the centre of the joint case he and his partner are working in cooperation with FBI. He puts his job on the line when he fails to share his blood relationโa complication he doesnโt need, considering the FBI agent on the case is convinced his brother killed her fiancรฉ.
Balance is the name of the game. Can Jared save his brother and convince Mel theyโre meant to be together?
