My first mistake was passing the detective's exam. Because of my audacity, my boss throws me a dozen cold cases. “You think you’re such hot shit, solve these.” Sweating, I try to cherry pick one that could save my job. While I’m deciding, a gorgeous woman steps into the bar and pushes a file under my nose. Repressed memories? Ah, hell, no. Kill me now. However, after several attempts on her life and mine, I decide a second look may be warranted. Soon, it becomes clear. Her mother’s death was no accident and her stepfather, the assistant DA, is our prime suspect. Adrenaline, hormones, a potty-mouthed parrot, and a virgin? Does this sound like a recipe for romance? I think not but what the hell do I know? Even if you haven’t read any in the series, start here. Each Brennan brother’s story stands on its own and has a guaranteed happily-ever-after with no cliff hangers.
