Playing With Danger - Paperback

It's strange how quickly life can go from predictable and boring to...not.

How a chance meeting can set off a chain reaction.

How a single moment can offer much-needed clarity.

How a kiss can alter the course of your life.

Valentine Malone fell into my life...correction, I fell into his in the aisle of a grocery store. I fell, not in love, but literally into him right before I stumbled into a display rack of parmesan cheese. Our second run-in had me on the floor slipping and sliding in broken party tubs of margarita mix. And if the first two encounters weren't embarrassing enough, the third left nothing to the imagination when I walked in on Hot Cop in all his magnificent glory in the shower. Not exactly the meet cute I'd always dreamed of. Three chance meetings was all it took for my perfectly uninteresting life to take a turn.

From the moment she backed into me at the grocery store, I couldn't get Sophie out of my mind. Beautiful, funny, sweet. And it turns out, brave in the face of sudden danger. She's everything I ever wanted, and a woman I'll never deserve. If she knew my secret, sweet Sophie would run and never look back.

But even if I can't keep her, I'll do anything to protect her from her own family's decades-old secrets and an unknown past that leaves her at the mercy of a mysterious enemy. It'll take everything I know about being on a SWAT team to save her. But will she still want me when my secrets come to light?
