Lauren Layne
Releasing July 28th,2015
Forever Romance
Ava Sims is a woman who gets what she wants. And what she wants is to be CBC's lead anchor-but to get there, she'll need to nail the fluff piece on the playboy cop. Luc Moretti is everything Ava knows to stay away from: a stubborn charmer with a hero-complex. But the more Ava gets to know Luc and his oddball family, the more she realizes that beneath the swagger and the blue uniform is a complex man who makes her heart beat too fast. Soon, Ava's doing the unthinkable, and falling for the best of New York's finest ...

A woman stood in the back corner of the room, helping
herself to coffee from the fancy coffee machine Brinker kept for his own
personal use.
Her body was mostly hidden by one of the horrible potted
plants that Brinker’s wife insisted gave his office “homey character.”
And then she stepped into plain view.
He couldn’t help it; he checked her out. Everything about
the woman demanded a second look, the legs in particular.
Luc had never really considered himself a legs-man, being
more of an “equal opportunity” guy when it came to female body parts.
(Although, if his mother ever asked, he’d swear up and down that he only ever
noticed personality. Maybe the eyes.)
But the legs on this one were damn near perfect. For that
matter, the high breasts and slim waist also earned high marks.
Her subdued black skirt and white blouse should have been
boring, but they’d obviously been perfectly tailored to fit her trim frame
perfectly.
The black high heels were icing on the already perfect cake.
Then he looked at her face, and for a second, Luc felt just
a little bit dazed.
If anything, her features were even more perfect than the
body. Her eyes were maybe just slightly too large for her otherwise petite features,
but there was no doubt about it, the woman was stunning.
And yet, there was something else there too, just beyond the
jolt of sexual awareness.
Recognition.
Luc might not have his brother Vincent’s photographic
memory, but he was pretty damn good with faces. And he was pretty sure he knew
this one. His brain scrambled to place her, but he kept coming up empty.
Her eyes narrowed almost imperceptibly on Luc, and his
narrowed right back. He definitely knew her from somewhere.
She gave him a slow, knowing smile. “Fifth and Fortieth,
three years ago.”
He shook his head to indicate he didn’t follow.
“You’re trying to figure out how you know me. Three years
ago, you gave my news van a parking ticket, and we exchanged…words. That’s
where you know me from. I’m Ava Sims.”
