The Badge and the Bad Boy by Lena Hendrix

Examples of things I shouldn’t be doing:
1. Staring at how nicely Evan Walker fills out his Wranglers.
2. Sneaking around after dark, hoping we don’t get caught.
3. Fantasizing about a life with a man who isn’t supposed to exist.
He’s a criminal, a dangerous man with connections to the Chicago mafia.
And I’m a cop.
Now we’re stuck hiding out in this quirky small town, and my eyes have a way of wandering.
So do his hands.
But the rules are clear––no connections to your former life. Ever.
We can’t afford to give into temptation. I’m only here on this Montana ranch until I can safely return to my job–and the promotion I’ve worked so hard for. And he’s only here to keep his little sister safe.
But as we’re forced to work together, I find that Evan is much more than I ever expected. He’s strong, hard-working.
Did I mention the Wranglers?
We’re drawn to each other in ways that are completely hopeless. I know I shouldn’t give in to his hot, smoldering looks or the way his lingering touch lights me up. It’s reckless.
Addictive.
I can hide it, but the truth always has a way of coming out. In Tipp, Montana, secrets can save your life. The only cost is your heart.
