Connor Bannon is supposed to be dead. Dishonorably discharged from the Navy SEALs, he's spent the last two years working as a street enforcer in Brooklyn for his cousin's crime ring. Through a twist of fate, he's now in Chicago, working undercover to bust criminals. But when a cute little arsonist joins the team-all combat boots, tiny jean shorts, and hot-pink hair-Connor's notorious iron control slips.
Erin "she's getting away" O'Dea knows two things. She hates authority. And... Nope, that's it. When she's forced to operate on the "right" side of the law, her fear of being confined and controlled blazes to the surface. The last thing she expects is a control freak like Connor to soothe her when she needs it most. Worse, something behind the sexy ex-soldier's eyes ignites a dangerous inferno of desire. One that invites Erin to play with fire. And one that could get them both killed...

Excerpt:
As if her
thoughts had made him appear, Connor strode into the courthouse. Her pulse
started beating double time, her stomach muscles tightening. Good Lord, the man
was a fucking panty dropper. She’d only been away from him for a few hours and
it felt like years since she’d experienced his presence. In jeans and a fitted
gray T-shirt that molded to his muscles like her hands itched to do, he
personified confidence and authority. Hot, rugged male. His gaze connected with
hers immediately and darkened. She thought back to that morning when he’d
dressed in the early morning light, his abs flexing as he pulled the shirt over
his head. His erection barely contained by his boxers. She’d never been one to
beg for anything, but she’d been seconds from offering him her mouth. Pleading
for the privilege of sucking him off.
Conner
shook his head at her with a sexy half smile on his face, as if he could read
her thoughts across the room. He stopped at the metal detector and walked
through after the security guard beckoned him forward. When the woman grabbed
her wand and instructed him to raise his hands in the air, something ugly
reared its head deep inside her. The detector hadn’t even beeped. There was no
reason for the personal service. When the woman smiled at Connor and ran a hand
down her ponytail, Erin propelled herself forward, boots echoing on the
polished marble.
Erin
hissed as she drew even with the guard. “If you’re done feeling up my
boyfriend, I’d love a turn. We were in a rush this morning.”
The guard
dropped the wand, letting it dangle near her thigh. “Did you just hiss at me?”
Erin
hissed again.
“Okay.”
Connor stepped between them, winking down at her. “We should go. Don’t want to
keep the clerk waiting.”
Appreciation
spread in her belly like honey. He hadn’t chided her for her behavior or
apologized to the woman on her behalf. Instead he’d given the impression they
were on their way to get married, appeasing her jealousy in one fell swoop.
“That’s right.” She sauntered toward the elevator. “There’s vows to be
exchanged. Rings to put on fingers. Shit like that.”
She
glanced behind her to find Connor staring at her ass as she walked, so she put
a little swing in her hips and savored his groan. Damn. She’d definitely never
had this much fun at a courthouse.
A moment
later, she and Connor stepped into an empty elevator. She hit the button for
the top floor even though the clerk was on the first, and leaned back against
the wall, looking up at him through her eyelashes. “How was your morning, baby?
Was it worth leaving me in bed, all hot and bothered for you?”
“Fuck no,
it wasn’t.” He crooked a big finger at her. “Climb on up here.”
About the Author!
Thank you
for your interest in my books! I'm Tessa and I live in the crazy, loud,
overcrowded borough of Brooklyn, New York. I love it here. This city is a
constant source of inspiration, which is why I've decided to set my most recent
books in the Line of Duty Series here.
I moved to
New York when I was eighteen, the day after I graduated high school. Threw my
suitcase in the back of a Chevrolet Cavalier and drove across the country to
find my adventure. I'm still finding it, little by little.Thank you for being
a part of it.
