About this ebook
USA TODAY BESTSELLER • What happens when a supposedly perfect match is so wrong it’s right? In this roller-coaster novel of destiny and desire from A. M. Madden, a red-hot cop and a broken beauty are linked by painful pasts . . . and one tempting future.
A real hero can protect and serve, but a true hero knows how to love.
As an NYPD officer, Benjamin Stone is married to his job, determined to clean up the drug-infested streets. His partner, Rob, always has his back—except when Rob and his girlfriend, Andrea, play matchmaker at his expense. On Ben’s birthday, they’re at it again. Andrea’s friend is exactly Ben’s type, even if he stubbornly will never admit it. But it’s not the lithe brunette’s looks that intrigues Ben; it’s the hurt in her eyes.
Ella Parker is bright, beautiful, kind—and, thanks to one horrific night, severely damaged. She’d rather be training for her black belt or watching TV in her favorite pair of pajamas than be dragged out on a blind date. Sure enough, Ben swaggers into the club, locks onto Ella, and claims he’s not interested—despite the irresistible chemistry between them. So Ella decides two can play at that game. But when her dangerous past comes back to haunt her, Ben will break all the rules of seduction to keep her safe.

Ella and Ben are hot! This is the first book I’ve read by Ms. Madden and I enjoyed it a lot. Ben is an a$$ at the beginning of the book and I loved to hate him. Ella wants no part of a relationship that her best friends are trying to force on her. This story was entertaining and complex with a lot of suspense. I enjoyed seeing Ben realize how much of an a$$ he’d been to Ella and other women. I’ll be reading the next book in this series when it comes out.
