Ruby Whitestone just found her ex’s dead body. And the police think she did it. But as a single mom, she knows how to fend for herself. No fairytale hero is going to swoop in to save her. Not her brother, the Bennett Security bodyguard. Certainly not Chase, a West Oaks police officer and her brother’s best friend.

Chase Collins has a secret. He’s in love with his best friend’s sister. With Ruby under arrest for murder, he’ll do anything—even risk his career—to help. When she stands to lose not just her freedom but her daughter, Chase vows to save her family. But to do that, he’ll have to ask Ruby the one thing she never expects. And the last thing she wants to hear.

Marry me.

This fast-paced romance features a sexy ex-Marine in blue, a tough single mom with a rebellious streak, heart-pounding action, and a who-done-it mystery.
