From USA Today Best-selling Author, Zee Irwin, comes a swoon-worthy beauty and beast retelling, and a reader favorite!
She’s a book nerd and a cat whisperer. He’s scarred and intimidating. Could the beautiful, quirky bookstore owner tame the beast in the detective?
My service in the military resulted in life-long wounds, but a scarred face like this worked to my advantage when I became a detective and could intimidate the most hardened criminals.
It wasn’t so great with the ladies, who took one look at me and walked away, leaving me to wonder if I’d live alone the rest of my days.
That all changed when Lily Young and her bookstore with cute cats entered my life. The quirky and beautiful woman seemed undaunted by my looks, and soon all I wanted was for her to see how soft she made me feel inside.
As we grew closer, an old flame from her past made his return—and I didn’t trust him one bit. The guy was bad news, and a string of robberies near Lily’s shop added to my worries. When the bad guys got too close to Lily and her bookstore, I worked overtime to solve the case. It was my job and what I did best.
But once the case was solved, would Lily let me protect her for life?
Listen to this light romantic suspense story that will surprise you with cute cats, a little humor, some angst, and steamy bits while delivering a happily ever after that satisfies.
