Amy Williams is a dyed-in-the-wool romantic. From childhood, her father taught her to see the mystery and danger in every-day events. All her adult life, however -including her present sedate secretarial job at a small, educational non-profit- has always been...well, uneventful. Still, she won't let that blind her to the every-day mysteries around her.
Michael Edwards is a facts-only local police beat cop who was raised on the poor side of town by a single mother. Mysteries need to be demystified and made safe. Danger needs to be disarmed, contained or neutralized. Its not just his job, its his whole upbringing.
So when mystery and danger finally threaten Amy's boring existence, and perhaps her very life, a man like Officer Edwards is just the ticket. If only he wasn't such a flat-footed, unimaginative jerk.

Reader discretion advised. EXCERPT: As he leaned over with his arms folded, resting on the table, I took a second to admire the way his slightly messy hair fell in front of his face and the back of his black jeans hugged his ass. He glanced up at me, knowing I'd been staring at him, and I felt my face heat up. "I'm going to give you fifteen minutes to grab a bag with some spare clothing, your toothbrush, and whatever necessities. Then we're leaving," Joey ordered. He walked back into the living room and plopped down on the couch, tapping his foot impatiently. "If I go with you-" "When you go with me," he corrected. "You will not take your phone or computer because they can be tracked. And now you have fourteen minutes."Complete
