Au contraire! That's just the short prologue. The publisher's summary leads one to believe this is a story about an undercover DEA agent falling in love with his innocent mark. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. Plus, its filled with yummy, hot, swoon/drool-worthy alpha men, strong heroines, and an engaging plot line. It was different than book 1, less action-packed, more focused on relationship development, and family drama. Overall, I truly enjoyed and loved this story. In fact, most of the time things just end up bringing them closer together as a family unit. Even when her ex-husband and his crazy ex-wife attempt to cause lots of drama, they both refuse to ever let anything come between them. Plus, Tessa instantly & whole-heartedly accepted Brock's boys into her life.
Tess and Brock together are a fantastic couple. Her character was a breath of fresh air and I adored her. She told him exactly what she felt, thought, and wanted. She was simply fabulous! I admired her straightforwardness and simple honesty. The sexual chemistry between Brock & Tess was smoking HOT!! Brock may have been rough around the edges but he was also very protective & he took great care of Tess, which was something she always needed. The combination of her being reasonable and him not playing games and being completely honest about things leads them into a beautiful relationship. Three months later, after giving her space to heal, Brock shows up and in his typical, no-bullshit, we-will-deal-with-this-properly attitude, demands she listen to him and hear his side of the story. She's so hurt because she finally had allowed herself to open up & trust a man again. Tess feels betrayed when she realizes that Jake/Brock was using her. This was not the confession the cops expected & ultimately she is found innocent.
And of course, while the questioning was taking place, Brock was listening in and discovers the horrible dark secret she voices out loud.
The Denver Police Department thought she was involved in her ex's activities but instead hear a heartbreaking confession about the life she endured in the hands of her ex-husband. For 10 years she was married to Damian Heller, whom turned out to be a drug criminal. (Brock Lucas is a DEA agent that we originally met in book 1, Mystery Man.) During her interrogation we learn that Tessa O'Hara has had a rough past. One moment Tessa is having hot sex with 'Jake' the man she's been dating for the past 4 months & the next she discovers 'Jake' is actually an undercover cop whose been investigating her.
