Blurb: Ethan Valor thought he had it all with a career he was meant for, and the perfect family at home. But when his wife unexpectedly filed for divorce, he moved into his sister’s condo. Needing a nightcap after a long day on the police force, Ethan decided to go to the neighborhood bar that, in his family, was known to bring people together. Or, in his case, bring his first love back into his life.Reagan McCormick moved back to Chicago after twenty-three years. Divorced, and with a daughter in college, it was time for Reagan to focus on what made her happy. Wanting to make new friends and extra cash while in school, Reagan gets a job as a bartender. A blast from the past blows into her bar one night proving that moving back to the Windy City was the right decision to make. What Ethan and Reagan didn’t expect was how easy it would be to start over together. Or how their career paths would dangerously intertwine … When a serial killer strikes Murder City, Ethan will stop at nothing to keep Reagan safe. But how safe could they be when someone was always watching? The game of love always goes on. : And their game was just beginning.
Excerpt: “Did you solve the case?”He let out a long, deep breath. “No, far from it.” “What’s it about?” He leaned closer and grinned. “Can’t tell you that, Buttercup. It’s confidential. “Really?” Ethan nodded. “Really. But when we go on the ride-along, you’ll sign an NDA, and then you can know all about whatever we come across.” “I’m excited.” “If it’s anything like what I saw last night, then we’ll know for sure if you can be CSI.” “It was bad?” Ethan leaned back. “Yeah. Worst murder I’ve ever seen.” “Wow,” I breathed and took another sip of water. “Well, I’m excited. Class has been fun so far. It will be good for me.” “Want me to come over when I get off work, and we can study?” I raised an eyebrow. “I mean it. I can answer questions if you have them.” The waitress came and took our order. After she left, I said, “I’d rather study like we used to study.” He choked on a sip of water. “Really?” I leaned forward, resting my forearms on the table. “Tell me if I’m reading this wrong. You took me home, let me sleep in your bed, gave me a key to your place, invited me to lunch, and offered to see me again tonight when you’re working on what I assume is a big case since you said it was the worst murder you’ve ever seen.” Ethan grinned slowly. “Reagan Hunter, are you telling me that you want to study?” He put air quotes around “study,” causing me to bite my lip. “Yeah, Ethan Valor. I want to study. All. Night. Long.” “Check, please!”

âIâM A VIRGIN. AND YOU NEED TO RELIEVE ME OF THAT.â
What respectable guy could say no to that? Yeah, she was my best friend. But she was also the hottest chick Iâve ever known. I thought it would be simple. I thought weâd have a good time, then pretend like it never happened.
It turns out, I was an idiot.
Now, she wants nothing to do with me, but Iâm determined. Iâve spent the last five years without her and I refuse to waste another day. I have a solid plan. All of my figurative ducks are in a row. Iâm going balls to the wall, and Iâm not stopping until I win back the only girl Iâve ever loved.
Too bad for me, Devyn Summers was sitting on a secret that nothing couldâve prepared me for.

MY DICK CAN BE A REAL BASTARD SOMETIMES.
When he takes charge, Iâve been known to do a lot of stupid shit, despite the fact that I have a genius IQ. Case in point: How I met the woman of my dreams.
Now, Iâm going to let you in on a little secret: I donât regret that moment of idiocy one bit. It may have been one of the most embarrassing moments of my life, but you know what they say about first impressions, right? Well, I can guarantee that I made quite the impression that evening. (Don't worry; Iâll tell you all the gory details later.)
Most days, she acts like she hates meâprobably because I behave like an assâ but we both know the truth: Rainey OâNeil wants me just as much as I want herâshe just doesnât want to admit it.
Good thing Iâve never been one to back down from a challenge.

IâVE OFFICIALLY SCREWED THE POOCH.
I mean, not literally, because that would be disgusting. But I did break one of the cardinal rules of Bro Code, which is equally appalling. You see, I fell in love with my best friendâs sister after he explicitly forbid me to go near her. As if that werenât bad enough, I went ahead and married her while sh*tfaced in Vegas.
I know that I should get an annulment and forget the whole thing ever happened, despite the fact that our wedding night was the hottest thing Iâve ever experienced.
The last thing I should do is go back for seconds.
Or thirds.
Or...you get the point.
And what I definitely shouldnât do, is say f*ck the consequences and give this marriage a real shot.
But hereâs the problem with that: Iâm pretty sure that Charlotte Harris is the one. And if thatâs the case, nothing is going to keep me away from her. Not even her brother.

Author Bio
Laura's passion has always been storytelling. She spent most of her life with her nose in a book thinking of alternate endings or continuations to the story. She won her first writing contest at the ripe old age of nine, earning a trip to the state capital to showcase her manuscript. Thankfully for her, those early works will never see the light of day again!
Laura lives in the Pacific Northwest with her wonderful husband, two beautiful children, and three of the most poorly behaved cats in existence. She likes her fruit smoothies filled with rum, her cupboards stocked with Cadbury's chocolate, and her music turned up loud. When she's not writing or watching HGTV, she's reading anything she can get her hands on. She's a sucker for spicy romances, especially those involving vampires, bad boys, or cowboys!
