He's a criminal; she's a cop. Together, they're incendiary.

After a long day at work slaving away for a boss who hates you, wouldn't you just want some food and your bed? Detective Inspector Cheryl Spiers does too. Only at quarter past 12 on a busy Saturday night, there is no food to be found, just an unsavoury perp.

And of course she is the one who needs to intervene...

Until a muscled arm circles her waist and a voice—accented, sensuous and HOT!—whispers, 'You ordered a pint but never got to enjoy it. I don't like that. I've got this handled.'

ANTHONY Ricci lives by a few facts of life:

-Women are precious; you never raise a hand to them

-The law is a bendable straw that often falls short

-Cops are the harbingers of doom so stay the hell away

Then from behind the bar he sees her: delicious curves, pinned up hair his hands ache to mess up and cop eyes.

The latter a great reason to stay away. After all, she could mess everything up... Only, when she goes looking for trouble—badge and facts of life be damned—Anthony's right there, flying perilously close to the sun.

This Good Girl/Bad Guy romance between a detective inspector and criminal has mafia undertones. A plus-sized, badass female main character falls for an Italian, suave, dark and handsome hunk. This read promises to be a suspenseful, spicy read.
