I have an absolute soft spot for the big strong gruff men who are misunderstood and people always assume they are the aggressor, top, or couldn’t possibly know pain or fear. Seriously, I will read every single one of those.

Cue Roman. He’s a built cop who comes across as a bull in a china shop. But inside he’s mushy, kind, and loyal. He just wants to make a difference where he can.

When Brooks shows up needing help because of a stalker, Roman wants to help but he’s met his match in the fiery stubborn social media influence who doesn’t want to accept any help. Brooks is prickly and quick to assume the worst. But as these two battle it out in a game of who’s more stubborn, they accidentally start to like each other.

The stalker case heats as quickly as they heat up the sheets - now it’s not just their lives at stake, it’s also their hearts.

Loved how these two came to find their happy ending and a future.

As usual Nicole writes with care and compassion to go with the suspense, fun, and steamy moments she creates for her characters
