Love turns up in all the wrong places...at just the right time. Growing up a police chief's daughter, Kaylee Stephens saw firsthand how arrogant cop attitudes affect a marriage. Not for her, no sir. But when a priceless, pre-Columbian statue comes up missing, the day-school teacher finds herself in the middle of a police investigation. And face-to-face with sexy Detective Lucas Blackfox, her brothers' old high school chum. She had nothing to do with the crime, despite the fact that she - up until very recently - was engaged to the number one suspect. Once that's cleared up, she plans to return to her peaceful, cop-less life. Luc can't seem to keep Kaylee out of his thoughts, and it's not just because every time he and his partner turn over a new stone in the case, Kaylee shows up. She's grown from the pig-tailed tagalong he once knew to a woman he'd like to know better. His quest to convince her he's not just a typical cop is right on track toward making her a permanent fixture in his arms...until the missing statue's legendary curse drops an emotional bomb that could destroy everything.Product WarningsThis book contains steamy love scenes between a cop and a woman who refuses to date men in uniform.
