But all that changes when an IED takes the life of a comrade and leaves Riley an amputee. Now he’s heading home, injured and troubled. His plans to win Paige are a distant dream. She deserves so much more than the man that’s left. All he can do now is put some healthy distance between them. But upon his return he discovers his family has arranged for him to stay with Paige. Paige is a nurturer at heart and happy to take care of her best buddy. By all appearances Riley is adjusting miraculously well to his disability. But as the days pass, Paige begins to see that the smiles and laughter are just a mask for the pain he’s hiding. To make matters worse, her job is in serious jeopardy.

Book Description
Kill me now! How am I supposed to understand a word the man says when all I can think of while looking at his lips moving is how badly I want him to get inside my knickers? Knickers, or panties as most of you would call them. Yes, I’m that one. The one who uses medieval words and was the biggest nerd at school. Okay, back to the hunk. There I was, driving and singing along at the top of my voice to my favorite rock song, when all of a sudden, a shrieking siren disrupted my enjoyment. Speeding, my ass. The needle hardly hugged 75mph! Ah, okay, apparently this is a 60-zone zone. Bad girl. Bad, bad girl! Daphne Fowler never thought receiving a speeding ticket from the sexiest cop she’d ever seen would turn into a torrid love affair. Least of all that she would lose her heart to him, especially amid an investigation both of them became entangled in. All it took was just a kiss… Note: Although the blurb is in 1st POV, the book is written in 3rd POV.
