If you like bad boys who fall first, determined women who fight for what they want, lots of dirty talk, and quirky weird small towns... this one's for you! Carter Shaw isn't a man anyone would mistake for a nice guy. He has always been intense, up for anything and fearless-on the football field, when wearing his badge, and in the bedroom. But he never confuses pleasure for love. His unstable upbringing was more than enough to scare him off commitments for good. Until he meets Lacey Andrews. A true do-gooder, Lacey is the only woman to ever make Carter wish he was a better man. It's probably a good thing his friend and partner fell in love with her first. Even when Garrett dies in the line of duty, Carter knows he can't give Lacey everything she wants and needs. Until she shows up on his doorstep in nothing but a trench coat and blue lingerie. Now there may be a few things he can offer... Losing her fiancé has only proven how short life is and Lacey doesn't want to miss another moment of happiness. Carter is her best friend and she knows he's the only one who can make her feel alive again. But she wants to be a part of more than his bedroom. And as stubborn as Carter is, he clearly hasn't met a woman who's madly in love before. Until now.
