Protecting What's His Tessa Bailey

The opportunity was just too damn delicious for Ginger Peet to pass up. The purse full of money she finds--$50,000 to be exact--could give her and her teen sister the new start they need. So she grabs the cash, her gothy sibling, and their life-sized statue of Dolly Parton, and blows outta Nashville in a cloud of dust. Chicago, here we come . . . Turns out, Chicago has some pretty hot cops. Hot, intense, naughty-lookin' cops like Derek Tyler, who looks like he could eat a girl up and leave her begging for more. And more. Tempting as he is, getting involved with the sexy homicide lieutenant next door poses a teensy problem for a gal who's on the lam. But one thing is certain--Derek's onto her, and he wants more than just a taste. And as far as he's concerned, possession is nine-tenths of the law.
