Publisher Description
NYC summer days are hot. Nights are even hotter…
Not much has stirred Detective Jake Lowell’s interest since a perp put a bullet in his shoulder, killed his partner, then walked on a technicality. Until a sexy waitress at a tiny neighborhood café catches his eye.
Physical therapy is the last thing on Jake’s want-to-do list, but he needs it to get back on the street and track down the killer. But what’s a guy to do when he meets his new PT—and it’s his smoking hot café angel?
Working two jobs, Brianne Nelson never expected to do more than fantasize about Mr. Tall, Tanned & Gorgeous. But when her new private PT client turns out to be the man who fuels her fantasies, she realizes she’s going to be seeing a lot more of him—in the flesh—than she bargained for.
It’s not long before skin-on-skin contact turns into a hot summer fling. But the killer Jake is after isn’t going down without a fight and more than their hearts could get caught in the crossfire…
Note: This title was originally published in 2002 by Harlequin Blaze. It appears here in its original glory, without substantial revision.

Fabulous Read!
First, I need to say that it was a fabulous read! I wasn’t able to figure out what link this book had to the previous three books in this series, until the end, so I felt like I was reading a “stand alone” book. Jake Lowell was deeply hurt by his ex-wife. His career as a detective is all he has left, but the dangerous part of it is not sitting well with him anymore. He has a few loose ends to tie up before he can think about making a change. Brianne Nelson’s life revolves around taking care of her gifted younger brother since their risk-taking parents died in an accident. It isn’t until they are set up by Jake’s widowed sister that Brianne decides to spread her wings and do something for herself, and Jake decides that he'd like to give love another chance. This story quickly turns into a “Romantic Suspense” because of the case that Jake is personally involved in as a detective on the police force. I truly enjoyed reading this story! Can’t wait to read the following book in this series where Jake’s widowed sister finds love again! Five Stars!!!.
