Playing Tough - Tainted Love, #5 - E-book - ePub

MeriWhen my best friend goes missing, help comes in the form of Tony Cooper, the sexy detective who just happens to be everything I've ever wanted in a man. He makes me believe in love at first sight, and the instant attraction that simmers between us inevitably bubbles over into full-blown passion, leaving me yearning for a lifetime in his arms. But, after one glorious night together, the heart-battered detective pushes me away, making it clear that we have no future together and breaking my heart in the process, proving that love isn't always enough to free someone from the demons of their past.
TonyThe first time I lay eyes on Meredith Green, she literally takes my breath away. Everything about her is captivating, from her hazel eyes and delicious curves, to her quick wit and feisty spirit. I want her until it's an ache in my soul, but it's a desire I can't afford give into. She deserves so much more than a man like me, a man shackled by his past, a man no longer emotionally whole. So I do the only thing I can - let her go.
But, when Meri's safety is threatened by the very criminals I'm trying to bring down, I realize that not only will I move heaven and earth to make sure she's safe, I'll also do everything in my power to make her mine, because life without her is no life at all. I only hope I haven't left it too late.
