About This Book
ONLY IN A FAIRY TALE...
When Officer Jake Slaughter arrived home after a double shift in the streets of Miami, he wanted nothing more than to collapse in bed. But there was no mistaking sounds of an intruder in his own house. With his gun drawn, he crept forward silently--only to find a brown-eyed pixy of a woman cleaning his bathroom. Jake had forgotten that it was cleaning day, but pretty Kathy Alvarez was unlike any cleaning lady he'd ever met. With an adorable face and a body that curved in all the right places, this was a woman who inspired a man's fantasies.
Kathy had wondered about the solitary cop who lived in this house. She had even dreamed up mental pictures of the man, though she had never imagined the gorgeous male who stood before her. With dreamy hazel eyes, sable brown hair, and hard, sculpted muscles, Jake was the kind of man who appeared only in fairy tales. But this man was real--and his hard body was so close that Kathy's skin tingled with the reminder that she was still a young, passionate woman.
But Kathy's life was hardly a fairy tale, and the last thing she needed was a man like Jake. With a nine-year-old daughter and goals to pursue, she had more than enough demands on her time. Besides, men like Jake were the marrying kind, and after one oppressive marriage Kathy wasn't about to let another man possess her. She could not deny the easy sex appeal of Jake Slaughter. She would just have to resist her own desire to throw herself in his arms...and at his mercy.
