About this book

If At First You Don’t Succeed…There are good and bad things in an undercover cop’s life. Mistaking the police chief’s luscious daughter for a prostitute? Bad. Finding out the babe is a black belt who will soon be posing as your wife on a sting operation? Oh, so good. For Conor Richmond, playing house while trying to crack a burglary ring means a chance to make amends to Jessica Nelson—by making sure their charade looks and feels blissfully real… Try Again…Jessica comes from a long line of cops—shoot, her teething ring was a pair of handcuffs—and she’s had it. She wants a normal life with a husband who doesn’t think procedurals are foreplay. Still, if going undercover will save her dad’s job, she’s willing to do it. But her resolution to keep her cool around the smug, sexy Conor—a man who can arouse her with one naughty wink—will be the hardest thing she’s ever done.
