To have and to hold—
until the case is solved?
When an undercover assignment pairs laid-back Florida detective Dante Matthews with by-the-book cop Eloise Archer, he knows it won’t be easy. And not just because they’re competing for the same promotion. Now they’re living together under the same roof, and it’s getting harder to ignore his deepening feelings for his “wife.” Can he convince Eloise to partner up—for life?

~ Excerpt ~
She held her breath when she saw the desire and admiration in his eyes.
“I’d like us to be partners, Ellie. In real life. It’s not a decision I can make on my own, so I’m asking you to think about it.”
Her throat went dry and she had to clear it before speaking. “How do I know I can trust you?”
“By giving me a lifetime to prove myself to you.”
At his declaration, her heart melted a bit more. “Oh, Dante.”
He leaned in, his spicy cologne hijacking her senses. He brushed his lips over hers and she could swear she felt an eternity in that kiss. When he finally pulled away, she blinked, keenly missing his warmth.
Brushing a knuckle over her cheek, he said, “You keep fighting crime and I’ll take old cars and make them new again. Win-win for both of us.”
She bit her lip. She knew she loved him, but… Something Martha had said in their many talks came back to her. Love can’t be analyzed. It must be experienced.
As much as Eloise was always following the rules, a little of Dante’s instinctive way of looking at things had rubbed off on her. Life was too short to make a list of pros and cons when it came to a future with Dante. She was ready to jump in feet-first right now. Besides, he’d had her heart since the day she met him.
“I love you, Ellie. Have ever since the day you took my challenge and raced through the mud right here in this very park. You hated every minute of it, but you showed me you had spirit, determination…honor.”
She swallowed hard.
“What do you say?”
She stared into his beautiful eyes. Saw the love shining there. Knew this was her chance for love, a family, a place in the world. And she wanted it all.
Her heart turned to mush. “You make a very persuasive argument.”
“And?”
“I love you, too.”
