"Spin-off from Serendipity Series!"

Fresh Fiction Review

Perfect Fit

Romance Contemporary

There is a reason why Carly Phillips consistently finds her name on the top of the bestsellers' lists. She delivers exactly what every romance reader wants. From intense love scenes to likeable, authentic characters, it comes as no surprise her latest release PERFECT FIT lives up to its name. A spin-off from her contemporary Serendipity Series, this title is the first in a trilogy centering on the Marsden family.

Michael Marsden has always felt like an outsider despite his family's loving embrace. His desire for independence spurs him to leave his hometown of Serendipity to become an undercover cop in New York City. Yet his restless soul is summoned back home when his dad's serious health condition requires him to fill in as the local police chief. His stay is temporary at best, just until his father is back on his feet. Mike has no intention of making Serendipity his permanent home.

Mike's best laid plans come into question the moment he re-encounters Cara Hartley. Their one-night-stand from a previous hometown visit quickly becomes a hot topic. As Cara's boss, Mike has a difficult time ignoring the sexual tension on the job and dares to partake in a no-strings-attached relationship despite his better judgment. As their two lives slowly begin to intertwine, Mike voices his doubt of making a commitment to a woman whose heart belongs to a small town.

When a cold case needing Mike's attention brings secrets from his family's past to light, Mike comes face to face with some life-changing decisions that could affect whether he and Cara will have a future. As the two grow closer, Mike wonders if his roots are to blame for his wanderlust ways. With both his family's future and love affair with Cara on the line, Mike is forced to decide exactly what he is willing to fight for and whether he has what it takes to make him want to stay.

SUMMARY

Carly's NY Times Bestselling SERENDIPITY series was such a hit with readers, she brings you back to the picturesque upstate NY town, where three siblings have grown up in the shadow of their proud and respected police chief father. But what do love, fate, and fortune have in store for the next generation of Serendipity's finest?

MIKE
Always feeling like the odd man out in his family, Michael Marsden wanted to make it on his own. So he escaped Serendipity to become an undercover cop in Manhattan, where the Marsden name wasn't known. But Michael's independence is compromised when he returns home to replace his sick father as chief of police. Back in the shadow of his family, he's as lost and restless as ever, until he's challenged by someone he never anticipated.

CARA
Cara Hartley is the Serendipity cop with whom Mike had a one night stand three months earlier.  Neither expected anything more but fate has other things in store.  When Mike returns as Cara's boss, the sexual tension between them is impossible to ignore - and the unexpected emotional connection continues to grow.  But Cara's a small town girl while Mike has a wanderer's blood in his veins.

Together their chemistry explodes but ...
Both are convinced a future together is impossible.  Until Mike's real father's secrets come back to haunt him and he realizes there are some things worth staying and fighting for. Including Cara.
