My Gentle Captor - 1st book -Pearson Series

When Emily Pearson decided she desperately needed some thrill in her dull life, she didn't mean that kind of thrill of working undercover in a case without any official backing.
Emily doesn't deny she likes to be informed, reads the tabloids and gossips, too, but following around one of the most merciless mobsters there is in the West Coast is slightly too much of thrill for her taste.
Even if the man in question is the perfect gentleman with a sterling reputation and polished manners who is said to courteously apologise before he cold-bloodily shoots his victim dead.
However, she can't let her cousin down. Becoming his private snoop for a single evening., Emily is sipping champagne, waiting for the white-collar criminal to make an eccentric appearance when her past love interest unexpectedly arrives instead of him.
With the imminent threat of having her dirty laundry washed in public, Emily reverts to plan B and flees the party. Not far though, but right into the iron-muscled embrace of the formidable boss of the refined crimes she is to keep under scrutiny.
Stamping a steamy kiss on her appealing lips, Damon Matthews carries the golden-haired beauty off against the starry night. He knows it's an utmost folly to provoke the police captain by taking his sweetly unaware cousin his very private hostage. Still, he can't help, but prey on the auspicious encounter when it occurred to him for last.
The moment he learnt that the ethereal girl was in attendance of his lavish masquerade party, Damon denied the temptation to confirm if her eyes had the same cordial spark as he saw in the photos, shadowing her from a safe distance instead.
Yet, when the fascinating Miss Emily Pearson - his very well guarded guilty pleasure - found him herself, Damon is not going to let anyone rob him of the pleasure of having her presence for himself. The only thing he can't guarantee, though, is that it will be their one and only meeting.
