Publisher Description
Welcome to New York Times bestselling author Carly Phillips' irresistible town of Serendipity, where love, fate and fortune are intertwined... A heartwarming, sexy read for fans of Jill Shalvis and Rachel Gibson.
Michael Marsden escaped Serendipity to Manhattan where he wouldn't be burdened with living up to the family name. But when he returns to replace his ailing father as chief of police, loner Michael is awakened by something he never expected... That something is Serendipity cop Cara Hartley, who challenges Michael at every turn. Just as their sexual tension ignites, the obstacles between them become more difficult. He's her boss and her best friend's brother - but also there's that certain secret that Cara has become privy to. One that could destroy any future they might have together.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Phillips's pleasant but rote contemporary romance launches a companion trilogy to her Serendipity series. Mike Marsden, who happily shook off Serendipity's dust for a law-enforcement career in a big city, reluctantly returns to fill in for the ailing police chief, Simon, who also happens to be Mike's adoptive father. Unfortunately, that also means having to work side-by-side with his unforgettable onetime lover, Officer Cara Hartley. After some chemistry-laden encounters, Cara and Mike agree to a no-strings affair that unsurprisingly leaves them both wanting more but afraid to commit. When Cara ends up investigating a 30-year-old cold case that involves Mike's long-absent biological father, they work together to uncover old family secrets, bumping down the road to their happy ending. Fans will enjoy following up on familiar characters, and there is power to the dramatic domestic violence subplot, but formulaic relationships and a clunky third-person narrative style weigh down an amiable but unexceptional story.
