Romance Contemporary

After three successful Serendipity novels author Carly Phillips is ready to take readers on new adventures with her first spin-off PERFECT FIT, book 1 of Serendipity's Finest series. Michael Marsden has come home to Serendipity to fill in for his dad as chief of police while his dad is receiving treatment for cancer. Mike never thought he would be back in Serendipity for more than a visit. Mike was just here three months ago for a visit and he did something against his better judgment, he had a perfect night with his brother's partner and family friend Cara.

Cara Hartley has fought past a dark history to become a strong independent policewoman who likes to play it safe in her present. Then three months ago Cara finally threw caution to the wind and took Michael Marsden up on what he was offering, one night of no strings, no holds barred passion. Cara didn't expect anything from that night other than what she got, the hottest sex of her life. Now Mike is back in town, he's her boss at least temporarily and the desire she feels for him is growing.

With pressure from the mayor to solve a cold case and an accident that's put his brother and Cara's partner Sam out of commission Mike and Cara have to work closely together to solve a mystery that hits close to home. Meanwhile the more time they spend with each other the harder it's becoming to deny the burning desire between them. But can Mike and Cara deal with the demons of their past to grab on to the possible perfection for their future?

PERFECT FIT is a captivating romance with deeply passionate characters. If you enjoyed the Serendipity novels you will love PERFECT FIT. We get to see all our favorite Serendipity characters while getting to know the three Marsden siblings better. I recommend reading the Serendipity series in order first but this can be read as a stand-alone. I personally will have to re-read this book while waiting in anticipation for Erin's story Perfect Fling due to be released this summer

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.
