Love isn’t part of the job...
A tough-as-nails cop, Chantel Harris faces whatever life throws at her, and then some. As part of Santa Raquel’s High Risk team—created by the town’s women’s shelter, The Lemonade Stand—she goes undercover to expose one of the community’s elite as an abuser.
Looking the part is easy, but gaining acceptance into upper society circles is a different matter. That’s where gorgeous and successful lawyer Colin Fairbanks comes in. But Colin is so much more than Chantel could have dreamed. Wanting him is dangerous. Falling for him could ruin everything...
“You’re different...”
Colin drew out the words, then added, “Compelling. In a way I’ve never known before.”
In a stunningly simple black short shift that was sexier for what it covered, not for what it left uncovered, she could have stepped out of a fashion magazine.
And those lips—so artfully painted—glistened with promise.
“You did hear me say that when I’m done with my book I have to return to New York?”
“I heard.”
“And you’re okay with that?” The worry in her gaze hit him harder than the kiss waiting on her lips. She cared, too.
“Yes,” he told her. She’d been honest. If, in the future, they needed to work out something...then they’d work it out.
Two nights ago his life had changed. He’d changed.
And it didn’t seem as if there was a lot he could do about that.
Except to see where it was all going to lead...
What can I tell you about Chantel Harris that will make you want to read this book? Whatever it is, please imagine me saying it. Chantel is the best friend...but has few friends. Her closest friend, a female cop, was killed on duty. Chantel was the first responder.
She never expects things for herself, she only asks how she can help others. She’s the kind of friend we all want.
If you haven’t read previous Where Secrets are Safe books, relax, you don’t need to. You won’t feel left behind. For those of you who have, you’ll have seen Chantel once before in book three, Husband by Choice, when she visited Santa Raquel to help her best friend’s widower after his second wife goes missing.
Now a member of the Santa Raquel High Risk Team, she goes undercover to ensure the safety of a boy and his mother and ends up finding something horrible going on in the society she infiltrates. I didn’t know, when I started this book, what was going to happen. I didn’t know until the end how it was going to end. I didn’t even know if the bad guy was bad. Chantel took care of it all. She took care of me. And she’ll take care of you, too, if you give her a chance!
