Lauren Layne
Released July 28th,2015
Forever Romance
Ava Sims is a woman who gets what she wants. And what she wants is to be CBC's lead anchor-but to get there, she'll need to nail the fluff piece on the playboy cop. Luc Moretti is everything Ava knows to stay away from: a stubborn charmer with a hero-complex. But the more Ava gets to know Luc and his oddball family, the more she realizes that beneath the swagger and the blue uniform is a complex man who makes her heart beat too fast. Soon, Ava's doing the unthinkable, and falling for the best of New York's finest ...

Luc stifled the
smile, letting his former scowl resettle on his face. If Lopez thought he was
being played, there was no way he’d go for it.
“Hey, so Cap said
the hot reporter would be doing ride-alongs with us. That’ll be cool,” Lopez
said.
“Seriously? You
hate ride-alongs,” Luc said.
Lopez held up a
finger. “No, I hate the dippy, I-wanna-be-a-cop-someday type of ride-alongs.
Those stupid kids are always offering advice when they don’t know shit about
shit. But Ms. Sims will be a nice kind of ride-along. Just sitting,
observing…looking fine…”
Luc withheld the
snort. If Lopez thought Ava wouldn’t be offering plenty of unsolicited advice,
he had an unpleasant surprise. He doubted mind your own business was in her
DNA, not to mention it was a blatant contradiction of her job description.
“Hot or not, same
rules apply,” Luc said, just to set the record straight. “She can come on the
tame ride-alongs. That’s it.”
“Shit, and here I
was planning to bring her to a shoot-out,” Lopez mused.
Luc flung the
paperclip back at his partner, nailing him in the forehead. “Hey. So, I need
you to be my wingman.”
Lopez rubbed the
red spot to the right of his temple with a knowing grin. “Ah, so you do want a
piece of Miss Media.”
Yes.
No!
Damn it.
“Let me rephrase,”
Luc said, sitting back in his chair. “I need you to be my reverse wingman. Do
whatever you need to keep that plastic, nosy diva away from me.”
There was a light
tap on his shoulder before a female voice spoke up. “Gonna be hard when this
nosy diva is hell-bent on getting all up in your business.”
Whoops.
“Nice job,
Wingman,” Luc said with a glare at Lopez, whose grin indicated that he’d
definitely seen Ava approaching and had opted not to mention it.
Luc pivoted around
in his chair so he faced Ava. Only he was sitting, and she was standing, which
put him exactly at eye level with Ava’s slim hips.
Generally speaking,
Luc liked a little more curve to his women, but apparently his preferences were
shifting, because he couldn’t help his sex-starved brain from thinking that Ava
Sims’s hips were the perfect size for his hands to wrap around, his fingers
holding her still as he prepared to plunge into her…
The fantasy
dissolved into a million pieces when she opened her sassy mouth again.
“You know…” her
voice was considering, her finger tapping idly against her lips. “I’d always
heard that the whole man-in-uniform thing was supposed to be a turn-on. Guess
it’s an acquired taste.”
