Derek Alexander is a retired Marine, ex-cop, and the top investigator in his field. Melissa Jones is a small-town girl trying to escape her troubled past.
When the two intersect in a bar in Arizona, their sexual chemistry is off the charts. But what is revealed during their "one week stand" only complicates matters.
Because she'll do everything in her power to get away from the past, but he'll do everything he can to hold her.
(Standalone, M/F, HEA)











This book is about a girl named Melissa and a guy she meets named Derek.  Melissa is currently trying to get away from a horrible husband.  She takes a spa week vacation with her friend Elaine.  The timing is perfect she just filed for divorce so she will be away when he is served with the papers.  Her first night there she meets a man at the bar.  She thinks it’s kinda odd that he choose her over all the skinny pretty girls.  Derek comes and introduces himself.  They talk for a bit then he asks her to let him show her the desert sky.  She goes with him.  She has decided that she is going to forget the past year while she is here for the week.  They have a steamy encounter while they are out on the patio.  He tells her that he will be at the bar every night waiting for her.  She didn’t go to the bar the next night.  The third day they are there they run into another guy while they were getting lunch in the main part of the hotel.  He invited them to have dinner with him and his partner.  Elaine agreed for her and Melissa.  When they showed up for dinner can you guess who the guys partner was.  After a short time Melissa said she wasn’t feeling well and left the table.  Derek followed her.  He pulled her into the family restroom where after just a few sentences they had another steamy moment.  The next day he met her at the pool in the after noon.  After a little while they went to her room where they had a very fun afternoon and evening.  Melissa was starting to have feeling for him.  They met Elaine and Patrick for dinner that evening.  After dinner they went for a walk and talked some more and then she told him that if things were different she would tell him she love him right then.  The next morning there was a note slipped under the door for her to call the front desk something was left for.  She did and they brought it up to her room.  When she opened it there was a chain with a floating heart on it.  There was also a note that said what I would give you, if you hadn’t already stolen it from Derek.  He called and asked her to spend the day with him.  They met at the pool but didn’t stay long before going to his room.  Melissa has decided she is putting her plan into motion when she gets back.  They spend all day in his room.  They are really falling for each other.  Derek walks her back to her room the next morning.  He tells her that what he wrote in the note is true and that he will take her call when ever.  Will they try to be together after Melissa does what she needs to?  Will Melissa’s husband just let her walk away?

I loved this book right from the beginning.  Melissa is in a horrible marriage to a horrible man.  In the beginning of the book you just know that her husband has done something to her but you don’t know what.  The second half of the book is heartbreaking.  Just when she thinks her life is turning around she finds out something there makes it explode again.  Derek is such a great caring man.  He has been through his fair share of things himself.  It’s heartbreaking for him as well in the second half, but so worth reading when you get to the end.  I love all the characters in this book and look forward to hopefully finding out more about Elaine and Patrick.  This book is very well written with fantastic characters.

I was give this book as a gift in return for an honest review.

There’s a new guy in town...

“Patrick Knight, single, retired Guard-turned private investigator. I was a closer. A deal maker. I looked clients in the eye and told them I’d get their shit done. And I did...”
Patrick doesn’t do “nice.”
At least, not anymore.
After his fiancée cheats, he follows up with a one-night stand and a disastrous
office hook-up. His business partner (Derek Alexander) sends him to the desert to get his head straight—and clean up the mess.
While there, Patrick meets Elaine, and blistering sparks fly, but she’s not looking for any guy. Or a long-distance relationship. 
Patrick’s ready to do anything to keep her, but just when it seems he’s changed her mind, the skeletons from his past life start coming back.
