Detective Dominic Jeffries goes undercover to prove a
friend and fellow officer was not corrupt and did not
commit suicide. Dom has his work cut out for him as a
bailiff even more so after discovering the woman he fell in
love with and dumped works in the same courtroom.
When Dom
chose the academy over her, Mattie Nolan moved on with her
life. Her job as a court reporter and her daughter keeps
her busy enough until Dom comes along and Mattie realizes
how lonely and boring her life has become. That doesn't
mean she would take up with Dom again, not after the hurt
he caused. Almost immediately upon seeing Mattie again,
Dom understands just what he gave up and this time around
he intends to stick around for the woman he loves. First
he must rule out Mattie as a suspect then he needs to take
steps to protect her from those she loves and trust.
A
great hero and an interesting mystery make for a pretty
good read if you can get past a somewhat immature heroine.
Mattie bemoaned her fate because Dom left her
a little too much. Thankfully the
mystery element kept me reading.
For years, court reporter
Mattie Nolan kept her child a secret. The man she once loved
chose his dangerous job—undercover cop—over her. But now,
Sacramento detective Dom Jeffries is all that's standing
between her and the drug kingpin set on revenge against
everyone who put him away. Including Mattie.
Though
teetering on the edge of burnout, Dom goes undercover as a
bailiff in Mattie's courtroom. While he pretends not to
remember her, thoughts of her touch, her smell and the smile
that had been his alone keep resurfacing. Then he uncovers
the secret she's protecting. To save the daughter he's never
known and the woman he's never forgotten, Dom's ready to
sacrifice not just his job, but his life…
