Publisher Description
Meet New York's Finest-three hot brothers sworn to protect and serve the city they love . . . and the women who've stolen their hearts.
Vincent Moretti is one of the NYPD's top homicide detectives-and one of the most eligible bachelors in town. His family, however, thinks he should date his longtime partner, Jill-a sassy, sexy, smart-mouthed blonde who drives him absolutely crazy.
Behind the quiet authority, tough-guy demeanor, and dark aviator glasses lies a man with a big soul-and a hard body that can soften any girl's heart. After years as his coworker, Jill Henley has given up hope that anything could happen between her and Vin. Besides, loving him would break all the rules. But seeing Jill with someone else triggers feelings in Vincent he never knew he had. Now he'll have to stop playing good cop/bad cop-and find a way to convince her to be his partner for life. . .
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A high-profile murder case is the backdrop for this cleverly crafted finale in Layne's New York's Finest contemporary trilogy (after Steal Me). New York homicide detective Vincent Moretti likes his aviator sunglasses shiny, his leather jacket snug, and his cases solved. The introverted cop limits his relationships to his close-knit family and his partner, Jill Henly. When she goes on sabbatical for three months, he realizes how much she means to him, so he decides to ask her out when she gets back. Jill has secretly harbored a crush on Vincent for six years. His grumpy disposition and cocky attitude do nothing to discourage her. However, she can't wait around for Vincent forever, so while she's away she ends up getting engaged to another man. Vincent wants nothing more than for Jill to be happy, but he's devastated to learn of her engagement. For the first time in his career, he begins having trouble concentrating on work, which forces him to deal with his feelings. The secondary plot involving the unsolved murder case is as gripping as the smoldering romance. Readers will be very sad to bid farewell to this standout series, its well-developed characters, and their whimsical repartee.
