Police officer Lianna Novak was furious about her transfer to Burglary, but when handsome Detective Michael Kirvaly claimed her as his partner, she was shocked by the attraction that sizzled between them! Michael felt his breath catch when the sultry firecracker with sparkling eyes approached his desk. It was impossible, unthinkable to be tempted by his hot-tempered partner, especially when he'd always fallen for cool, elegant blondes, but his renegade feelings were undeniable--how could he mask what she awakened in him? Drawn to Michael like steel to a magnet, Lianna fought her wild, wanton need for the forbidden fruit of his embrace, but hot, dangerous desire urged her on--and Michael found her unconcealed longing a potent lure. Her virile Cossack taught her ecstasy with elemental passion, made Lianna believe in all the romantic songs shed ever heard, but could Michael convince her to be his beloved partner for life?
