Protecting What's His

About this book

Ginger Peet has spent years pouring drinks on Nashville's honky-tonk strip to keep a roof over her younger sister's head. When she finds a purse stuffed with cash in her mother's arms, she makes one impulsive decision that could change everything: she takes the money, packs up and heads for Chicago, determined to give her sister a better life. There she lands right next door to Lieutenant Derek Tyler, a disciplined, by-the-book homicide cop with a hangover, a funeral to attend and a serious need for peace and quiet. Ginger and her foul-mouthed, quick-witted sister are anything but quiet. Their neighbour is stern, commanding and impossible to ignore, and the sparks between them are immediate. But Ginger is carrying a dangerous secret, and Derek's job means he can't look away from trouble. The more he wants to protect her, the more she has to decide whether she can trust a man who lives by the rules she has just broken. Protecting What's His is a sassy, steamy contemporary romance from Tessa Bailey, published by Entangled's Brazen imprint. Expect banter that crackles, a dominant alpha hero, a heroine with a big heart and a bigger mouth, and plenty of heat.
