Summary
Keely Allen’s life goes into a tailspin when her adoptive father is
viciously attacked. And the detective who offers to help her? None other
than the sexy, love ’em and leave ’em man who once broke her heart.
Homicide Detective Logan North carries a haunting secret that has
always kept his emotions on lockdown. But when he is forced to work
alongside his former lover, the heat is still there between them,
burning hotter than ever. Logan is determined to keep the luscious and
tempting Keely at a distance…but he made a vow not to leave until all
are safe.
On their race to solve the tangled web of crime, drug deals, and
human trafficking, dangers abound—both to their lives…and to their
hearts.

Wishing she didn’t look so good in a
pair of worn jeans and an old red University of Maryland sweatshirt,
he slammed the door and set the lock.
“Keely.” He stood by the door,
afraid to trust himself around her. He had to keep her at a distance.
As teens, he’d been too wild for her, as adults, he couldn’t give
her what she wanted.
Anger grew in his gut. What if she’d
been attacked in his own neighborhood, on her way to see him, and
he’d been inside watching a movie? He faced her, using his best cop
tone. “Do you know how many muggings there were on the next block
last month?” He could have bought a house in a safer neighborhood,
but he liked the fact everyone knew he was a cop. His presence kept
crime down on this block. But he’d never expected women to come
over at odd hours in the night.
She didn’t even have the grace to
look chastened as she took a swig of beer and shrugged. “So, I see
you still like Louis L’Amour movies.” She smiled and pointed at
the television screen with her beer bottle.
He forced himself to take a slow,
calming breath, counting to ten.
“Logan?” A furrow formed between
her brows and she stood. Her long brown hair, damp from the rain,
clung to the sides of her face. A loose tendril fell across her
cheek.
He wanted to step forward, brush it
aside, grab her face in both hands, and kiss the hell out of her.
“Why didn’t you return my calls
when I reached out to you a few years ago?”
So that was why she was here. To
finish the conversation they’d started earlier, before the street
outside her dad’s house had erupted in chaos.
She set her bottle on the table and
took a step closer to him.
His gaze dropped to follow her
pink-painted fingertips as she reached for the hem of her sweatshirt.
Surprise shot through him as she yanked it over her head, tossing it
to the sofa. She wore a thin beige halter and no bra. He stared at
the pert outline of her nipples, and his mouth went dry.
Oh,
holy shit.
With every ounce of willpower he
possessed, he forced his eyes higher and stared back at her. But
focusing on her eyes didn’t do him much good. Her blue eyes
sparkled in the dim lamp light, sending him signals he knew only too
well.
She hadn’t come over solely to get
the answers to her questions. She’d come here to seduce him. And
God help him, he didn’t know if he had the strength to resist.
