About this ebook

She’s a small-town girl.

He’s got a restless spirit.

Can their hearts bridge the gap?

Michael Marsden’s adoptive parents gave him a family, but Serendipity never felt like home so he fled to Manhattan, where he’s an undercover cop with a reputation for skirting the rules. But when his police chief father steps down to fight a serious illness, Mike returns home to fill his dad’s by-the-book shoes.

Serendipity hasn’t changed much but there’s one familiar face from the past that he never expected to see—Officer Cara Hartley. She’s the only woman that ever made him consider giving up his lone-wolf ways.

Cara is determined to keep a professional distance from her new boss, the one night stand she never forgot. But hearing Mike’s deep, sexy voice ignites memories of how he set her body on fire. It isn’t long before their red-hot chemistry tempts them to cross a dangerous line both personally and professionally, leaving Cara hoping for a future where she can have it all.

But when Mike’s long-absent biological father returns, the fragile bonds that could have kept him in Serendipity threaten to snap. And Mike must face his past if he and Cara are to have any kind of future.

Will Mike realize he fits perfectly in Serendipity with Cara, or will he choose to walk away?

Ratings and reviews

Perfect Fit was a read that I was able to get lost into for awhile. I enjoyed it as a weekend read and was able to come and love the characters through and through. We do have the grumpy hero - Mike that will give you the feels and then some. You love to hate him. Cara is a woman that knew what she wanted but tried to go against it. A lot of push and pull, but the dramatics and angst made it that much better!

3.75stars-- PERFECT FIT is the first instalment in Carly Phillips’ contemporary, adult SERENDIPITY’S FINEST erotic, romance series focusing on the small town of Serendipity, New York-a spin off from the author’s Serendipity series, This is Serendipity police officer Cara Hartley, and Manhattan police officer Michael Marsden’s story line.The premise is heart breaking, emotional and dramatic; the romance is passionate; the characters are desperate and dynamic.
