Adult Contemporary Romance (short story)
The greater the risk, the hotter the reward…
Homicide cop Troy Bennett had a reputation on the Chicago PD for being fearless and in control—until the night his daredevil partner is killed during a raid. From that moment on, he swears he’ll never again be responsible for the loss of a loved one. To escape his demons, Troy transfers to the NYPD, bringing him up close and personal with Ruby Elliott, a beautiful, street-savvy pool hustler.
Reckless and stubbornly independent, Ruby embodies everything Troy’s avoiding, but when she walks into O’Hanlon’s Pub and blows his carefully laid plans to hell, Troy knows he has to have her—risks be damned. But there’s a connection between Ruby’s shadowed past and a case Troy’s working involving a notorious Brooklyn felon, throwing her safety into jeopardy. Confronted with his biggest fear, will Troy push Ruby away to keep her safe or fight to keep her in his arms where she belongs?
{4 stars}
This is the second in this series, but they are truly stand-alone stories. The characters do not move forward to the next book. We get a whole new story each time. My only complaint, is that they are to short. I really like Tessa' style of story telling. The characters are passionate, with HOT alpha males. And each story has been unique. Not the same old thing hashed over and over again. Really enjoy these, just wish they were longer.
