Dating. Diapers. And dodging bullets. Who said single moms can’t have fun?
Finlay Donovan has been in messes beforeโafter all, she’s an author and single mom who’s a pro at getting out bloodstains for rather unexpected reasonsโbut none quite like this. After she and her nanny/partner-in-crime Vero accidentally destroyed a luxury car that they may have “borrowed” in the process of saving the life of Finlay’s ex-husband, the Russian mob got her out of debt. But now Finlay owes them
Still running the show from behind bars, mob boss Feliks has a task for Finlay: find a contract killer before the cops do. Problem is, the killer might be an officer.
Luckily, hot cop Nick has started up a citizen’s police academy, and combined pressure from Finlay’s looming book deadline and Feliks is enough to convince Finlay and Vero to get involved. Through firearm training and forensic classes (and some hands-on research with the tempting detective), Finlay and Vero have the perfect cover-up to sleuth out the real criminal and free themselves from the mob’s clutchesโall the while dodging spies, confronting Vero’s past, and juggling the daily trials of parenthood.

An all-new meet-cute sports romance fromย New York Timesย andย Wall Street Journal bestselling author Kristen Proby, featuring Sophie Montgomery!
I have millions of followers on social media, and it has absolutely nothing to do with my last name. Itโs because Iโm good at what I do. I work hard, and it has paid off. Iโm not a trainer who only talks the talk, either. I walk the walkโor rather, I run the run. It was actually during one of those jogs through the park that I ran intoย him.
Of course, at the time, I didnโt realize it wasย theย Isaiah โIkeโ Harrison, Seattleโs hot new quarterback. All I knew was that I was suddenly pinned under some solid, sexy body, unable to breathe.
But even now, I keep running into Ike in the most unexpected places.
And heโs doing everything in his power to convince me that heโs not just a playerโin any form of the word. Itโs so much more than that.
But Iโve been there, done that. I have the mended broken heart to prove it and have no intention of doing it again.
Except the frustrating man is convincing, and my walls are quickly loweringโespecially when I feel responsible for possibly upending his career.
Is letting him in a mistake? Or will it be the best thing Iโve ever done?
