About this eBook

She’s the town good girl.

He’s the sexy bad boy.

But a one-night stand is about to bring consequences neither expects.

Serendipity assistant district attorney Erin Marsden rarely makes mistakes and is perfectly content with her predictable life, thank you very much. Until the day sexy Cole Sanders returns to town and tempts her off her good-girl path.

After seven years of deep undercover work, Cole Sanders comes home to help his aging dad and rediscover his buried sense of right and wrong. He’s not there to get involved with the town’s good-girl, who has always been off limits to a bad boy like him.

But Cole’s a rebel at heart and he just can’t ignore their blazing-hot chemistry. He also can’t ignore the consequences of their intense one-night stand—Erin is pregnant with his baby.

As if that’s not enough to make his protective instincts kick in, Erin’s current case has danger written all over it. But Cole is determined to protect the woman he loves, and Erin finds herself succumbing to his alpha demands.

Now Cole just needs to prove to both himself and Erin that he can give her and their baby the love they deserve.

Ratings and reviews

I'm a sucker for anything angsty, so in many ways the Perfect Fling was a perfect fit for me. Erin knows Cole has no plans to stick around, despite the baby, yet finds herself attracted and unable to create distance between them. Cole has a lot of baggage. He had a very antagonistic relationship with his father, who has always let Cole know what a disappointment he is. Because of his upbringing he feels he isn't worthy of being a partner to Erin. Very much an angsty and steamy romance!

This is the second book in the series. Boy was it a good one! Erin and Cole will have you gobbling up the pages. What was supposed to be a one-night stand leaves a little unexpected surprise. Cole thinks he doesn't deserve a HEA because after being told you are no good you start to believe it. He needs to decide if a future with Erin and their bundle of joy is worth the risk or let his past define him? Also did I mention there is danger afoot? Some nasty character is targeting Erin.

An emotionally thrilling, heart-racing and action-packed adventure filled with engaging charters, witty dialog, heart racing twists and undeniable passion. Really enjoyed this highly entertaining journey from beginning to end.
