Partners In Passion, Book 1 Officer Luciana “Lulu” Martinelli prefers to work alone. Who wouldn’t, after falling in love with their partner, only to have him up and leave? Unfortunately, her captain, who’s also her father, is determined to pair her with someone. His latest recruit, former Boston detective Dominic Delgado, is turning out to be harder to shake than the others. Dom’s as talented at his job as he is gorgeous, and the worst part is…he knows it. Lulu can’t understand why a big-city cop would want to work for a small Rhode Island police department—until he’s brutally attacked after his first day on the job. Dom didn’t exactly give up his old life by choice, and some pretty terrifying bad guys want him dead. Things only get stickier when Lulu’s ex-boyfriend Rob resurfaces with a far-fetched explanation for leaving her, and an interesting connection to Dom. Forced to team up with the man who shattered her heart, her dangerously charming new partner, and even her bored teenage sister home on summer break, Lulu discovers her little town isn’t as crime-free as she thought — and that maybe, just maybe, having a partner to watch her back isn’t the worst thing in the world.
