Slow Dating the Detective

In the steamy third romance of Brown’s Cowboys and Angels series (after Secretly Dating the Lionman), casual sex gives way to real feelings. When Keenan Day’s older sister, Sarah, drags him to a strip club, he spends the evening flirting with Nate, a handsome stranger he assumes he’ll never see again. While interviewing for a bartending job shortly after, Keenan is shocked when Nate walks in with Keenan’s detective twin sister Karen’s partner. It turns out that Nate is Detective Gordon, the NYPD’s new hire who Karen won’t stop talking about. The attraction between Keenan and Nate is immediate, but recently heartbroken Nate makes it clear that he’s not looking for anything serious. Nate insists on referring to their dates as “hook ups” as a way to keep Keenan at arm’s length even after they start spending nonsexual time together and grow more romantic. But when traumatic events force the pair to rely on one another for support, they can no longer deny their feelings. The scorching sex scenes and sweet romantic moments will have readers rooting for Keenan and Nate’s happily ever after. (Nov.)
