Stepbrother on the Force
by Stephanie Brother
"And holy hell, his arms go around me—those big beefy tatted-up arms, holding me tight, holding me close against that big beefy chest, and for a moment there, I think I’m actually going to be safe, that I’ve actually got love—"
Nicolette’s life is a trainwreck, as she’ll be the first to tell you. With an addict boyfriend and on the brink of losing her job, she’s starting to feel desperate, backed into a dead end with no way out. She’s even feeling tempted by her boyfriend’s drugs, because doesn’t everyone deserve a moment of happiness? Just a moment?
Watching his stepsister spiraling the drain is Matthew. Mr. Good Guy. Built like a Mack truck with twinkling blue eyes, always ready to give people a hand, a cop who’s just been promoted to Detective, the youngest on the force. Will he step in and arrest the boyfriend for possession, in the hopes of freeing Nicolette from a destructive relationship?
Or will Nic herself find the strength to kick the boyfriend out, and the courage to accept the love her stepbrother wants to give?
