Kelly Siskind

Our one night in Aspen was hot enough to melt the Arctic. Then I thoroughly messed things up. 
 
Sixteen months later, my only goal is to make her mine. 
 
Trouble is, Raven Hunt is as complex as her tattoos. She's witty and stunning, busy building her photography business, but her childhood was as rough as mine. She's searching for her long-lost sister, worried about adding more emotional uncertainty to her life. And I've proved myself unreliable. 
 
But I'm a cop. At six foot four, two hundred and seventy pounds of muscle, I use my size and know-how to protect. I'll help Raven find her sister. I won't stop proving myself until she gives me another chance. You better believe the kiss I earn is worth all that time and effort.
