She’s always wanted an adventure—and now she’s going to get one, even if she has to pretend to be someone else!
Michelle, a forty-year-old café manager, is stuck in a boring life with a cranky cat and no excitement…until Derrick crashes in. The grumpy detective mistakes her for his FBI contact, dragging her into a mob case. She’s never fired a gun, thrown a punch, or chased a suspect, but hey—she was in drama club once, so maybe she can fake it.
Derrick knows there’s something odd about his new partner. She flinches at his gun, has no clue about procedure, and is way too sweet to be a cop. But her sass, warmth, and courage make him imagine a future beyond the job.
If they can survive Portland’s newest mob threat, Derrick might just win the biggest prize of all: Michelle’s heart.
Fast, funny, and steamy, this midlife romance has cranky cats, adventure, and a swoony HEA!
