Ask Me to Stay. Against All Odds, #3

Everyone in the Hollywood PD knows Alex Copeland is that kind of guy. What they don't know is just how far he's willing to go for the one woman who keeps saying no. He may run into burning buildings and track down criminals, but he's just a player and she can't afford to give him the time of day. Jess doesn't know it yet, but Alex Copeland has never backed down from a challenge, and he's decided she is the one worth fighting for.
Jessica Valverde has worked too hard to become a detective to let a charming officer derail her future. Promotions don't go to women who get distracted, and Alex Copeland-all Hollywood smile, smooth charm, and relentless flirting-is the biggest distraction in the precinct. But Jessica is the only woman Alex would ever consider filling out HR paperwork for. Nothing he does gets her attention, until a building fire puts him in danger and forces Jessica to see the man behind the easy grin.
When the smoke clears and he needs a place to land, she does something she never planned on: She brings him home. Suddenly Alex is in her apartment, in her space, in her carefully controlled world and Jess is forced to realize she's been wrong about him all along. The real Alex Copeland is someone she never saw coming. He's got more depth than she gave him credit for. More spine. More heart. And when the stakes get high enough-when everything between them is on the line-Jess will have to decide if protecting her career is worth losing the one man who might be forever.
Jess has kept her distance and told him no for far too long.Ask Me to Stay is Book 3 in the Against All Odds series, a completed, four-book Hollywood contemporary romance series from National Excellence in Storytelling Award winner and Maggie Award winning author Savannah Kade.
