“Are you suggesting we pick up where we left off?”
She might have been flustered, but he’d give her credit—she could turn on the freeze when she needed to. While something sharp and needy filled him, he was more than aware this task force was a huge opportunity for him. For both of them, no doubt.
Was he even remotely considering muddying the waters with sex?
His body screamed a resounding yes, but the control he was known for somehow managed to prevail at the last minute.
“I’m suggesting we both deserve to go into this partnership fully acknowledging what came before. This is a major step in my career. I have to believe it is for you, too. Not addressing the past is foolish in the extreme.” He leaned forward slightly over the table, the incredibly small space ensuring he could see her as clearly as if she were sitting beside him. “Don’t you agree?”
That flutter of pulse at her throat never faded, and if he were a fanciful man, he’d say he could practically hear her heartbeat.
Dear Reader,
The New York Harbor Patrol team has just caught a unique case when a cache of deliberately dumped guns is discovered on one of their dives. What does it mean? And who’s hiding evidence they don’t want found?
Gavin Hayes is one of the harbor team’s finest. He’s strong, dependable and driven to succeed—in and out of the water. A point his captain supports with Gavin’s appointment to a major interjurisdictional task force. But when his New Year’s Eve one-night stand shows up on the first day, Gavin’s stunned.
Serafina Forte never expected to see the guy she welcomed in the New Year with, but there he was! She’s sick to her stomach over seeing him again—and not just because of nerves. Sera’s pregnant and hasn’t had any way of finding Gavin to tell him.
Only now they’re partners on the task force, all while trying to fight their attraction and figure out how to co-parent. But that mysterious cache of guns is suddenly causing a lot of chaos for the harbor team. And when cops’ family members become targets, the consequences are dire.
I’ve had so much fun spending more time sailing around New York Harbor with my NYPD divers. I hope you fall in love with Gavin and Sera just like I did.
Best,
Addison Fox
