Holdover (7)

As a cop and a dad, Ric has his hands full trying to balance work and his daughter. Darby’s neighbor is a cop, an arrestingly hot single dad cop, but this artist is the one saving the day for Ric and his daughter when they meet. And she can’t help but notice how fine he looks in his uniform. And wonder if he’d look as good out of it . . . Darby and Ric keep their hands to themselves at first, because of this temporary babysitting agreement. But that doesn’t mean she hasn’t wondered what he looks like out of his uniform. Or that Ric can’t tear his eyes from her curves that drive him crazy. This cop with his chiseled chest, bulging biceps, and blazing green eyes makes Darby’s breath come faster. His protective nature and strong hands make her skin sizzle. Ric might be too busy full raising the most precocious budding artist Darby has ever met to believe he doesn’t have time for love . . . But one kiss from Darby and Ric drops all his defenses. Ric’s not alone in his hesitation for anything more — Darby’s not exactly the most stable and her history makes her nervous around kids. They might think that they each have too much baggage, but everyone, include Ric’s clever little girl, can see there’s more blooming between them. How can they come together when each of them have ever known loneliness? If you heroic military men, passionate romance, and a lot of action, you’ll love M.D. Dalrymple’s police romance, Holdover ! (updated cover) Don’t miss this steamy romance with no cheating, no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed happily ever after! This book is full of passion, first responder realism, and doesn’t shy away from language or references to criminal or dangerous behavior! —- ISBN: 9798215258194
