Prologue“I’m glad it’s finally over.” Ryan Davis tossed the shirt he’d just unbuttoned and removed into his locker.Shane Nolan grinned despite his weariness. “Really? You were involved for like three days, man. You had to do some arresting, but you weren’t undercover.”The younger cop glared at him. “It was still stressful.” His expression softened. “I’ll concede you and Sean had the worst of it though.”“No argument there,” said Sheriff Robinson. Jack, Shane reminded himself. Jack was only a few years older than him, but he had an authoritative presence that made it difficult to think of him as just Jack.“It couldn’t have been easy to let the bust happen in your town,” said Sean, Shane’s twin brother and fellow cop.“Definitely not. Jack was chomping at the bit to bust them up weeks ago.” That contribution came from Derek Reynolds, Jack’s deputy. “It’s been hard keeping this a secret from my family too. Sera asked several times where I’m sneaking off to, as though I’m not wearing

Chapter TwoChloe was halfway through the living room with two bags of groceries before she realized the lights were on and dimmed to provide a hazy glow accentuated by candles. The meager illumination allowed her to see a trail of rose petals that led from the living room down the hallway. Her first thought was crazily random—it was going to be a pain to clean up those petals from the carpet.Her second thought was more coherent and a lot more terrifying. Someone had broken into her house to set up this scene. Her heart plummeted into her stomach as she dropped her grocery bags to fumble for her cell phone. Her hands trembled as she dialed nine-one-one, her thoughts squarely on her baby.The operator answered on the first ring. “Nine-one-one, what is your emergency?”“Someone has broken into my apartment.”“Are they still there?”She looked up as a solid form entered the living room, drawing to a halt. Barely biting back a panicked scream, she said, “Yes, the intruder is still here.”

Chapter One--Baby For The DetectiveThe motorcycle hummed just like it was supposed to, followed by a deep purr when she accelerated. Mandy nodded with satisfaction. The engine rebuild was a success. That was good news, since she’d spent most of the day working on it. Thinking about it reminded her of the ache in her shoulders and lower back from being bent over the machine.As she changed lanes to return to her dad’s garage and clock out for the day, she cursed when lights flashed behind her. Racking her brain to try to determine what she’d done to catch Smokey’s attention, she signaled and turned off down an alleyway to get out of traffic.The unmarked car stopped close behind her, and a tall officer not wearing a uniform unfolded himself from the sedan. He had a solid build his blazer couldn’t hide, and she couldn’t help appreciating as he drew closer. Mandy fumbled with the helmet as he got nearer, slipping it off to let her chestnut curls cascade over her shoulders. She wasn’t ex

Chapter ThreeFour days later, Mandy’s heart was racing in her chest as she burst through the police station doors, going right to the front desk. “Where is Lieutenant Nolan?”The uniformed officer eyed her suspiciously. “Who wants to know?”“I need to see him.” She tapped her short nails on the worn wood. “I imagine the bast…he’s expecting me. Mandy Austin.”With an air of reluctance, as though she had asked him to move a mountain, he turned toward his keyboard. After a moment of typing and staring at the screen, he picked up the phone. “Shane, it’s Ed. There’s a girl here at the station to see you. You got it noted that we should contact you whenever and wherever if she comes by.” He listened to the reply for a moment before nodding, as though Shane could see him. “Will do.”After hanging up the phone, the portly officer picked up a pen and wrote something on a pad. He ripped off the sheet and handed it to her.Mandy took it, reading an address. “What’s this?”“Where you’ll find the

Chapter FiveHe grilled again that evening, this time chicken breasts and asparagus. Mandy appointed herself the task of making dessert and threw together peanut butter brownies from memory. Fortunately, she had remembered accurately, and they turned out well. They ate on the deck, and she cast a longing glance at the hot tub without thought. She’d never been in a hot tub in her life.“You want to take a dip?” asked Shane, as he finished the last of his iced tea.Mandy shook her head. “No, thanks.”He grinned. “You don’t need to swim to go in.”“Ha ha.” She stuck out her tongue. “I didn’t bring a swimsuit.” She didn’t even own one.His voice deepened. “Neither did I, babe. It’s best enjoyed in the buff.” Mandy hesitated, not sure if she was brave enough. Apparently, he took that as his cue to decide for her. “Let me turn it on and get the water heated, and then we’ll go in.”Nodding jerkily, she got to her feet. “I’ll be back.” She hurried to her room, frantically digging through her
