Frisk Me

After a courageous rescue is caught on camera, NYPD officer Luc is thrust into the national spotlight, but there’s one beautiful reporter out to prove this hero cop isn’t all he seems…

This cover is different from what you’ll find on the retailers, but the content of the book is the same! The original publisher covers are very well done, but I think they look like suspense novels, when the stories themselves are romance.

  • Officer Luc Moretti had no idea that his dive into the East River would have him drowning in a media frenzy. No matter how many times he tells reporters he was just doing his job, they’re determined to make him into NYC’s newest hero. Coming from a long line of NYPD’s finest, Luc knows that being a cop has nothing to do with headlines and viral videos, and he’s more than ready to get back to life away from the cameras-until he meets the gorgeous but jaded journalist assigned to film a TV special on him . . .

    Ava Sims may be the only woman in NYC who isn’t in love with Officer Moretti. That’s why she’s going after the real story-to find out about the man behind the badge. Ava’s determined to keep things strictly professional, but the more time she spends around Luc, even she has to admit there’s something about a man in uniform . . . and she can’t wait to get him out of his.
