Protecting What's Theirs

Line of Duty Series, Book 5

Ginger Peet has never regretted leaving Nashville with her sister and their life-sized statue of Dolly Parton. Now she's settled in Chicago with Lieutenant Derek Tyler, spending her nights pressed against every inch of his hard, dominating, and panty-meltingly-hot body.

And there's nowhere Derek would rather be than reminding Ginger - thoroughly and exquisitely - that she belongs to him. But then trouble hits the streets of Chicago. The kind of bust the old-school boys call a "widow-maker." To keep Ginger safe, Derek's forced to shut her out and keep himself away from her luscious body, or risk losing her forever.

But Ginger has just been presented with some, er, unexpected news. And right now, it's best she keeps that news to herself. Because Derek stands to lose far more than he knows, until he takes the law - and Ginger - into his own hands one last time.... 

Contains mature themes.

Should be listed as novella 1.5

“I’m screwed! I already love the little booger.”
Books 2, 3, and 4 involve different couples and stand alone. This dirty little ditty is basically a bonus epilogue for the couple from book 1, His To Protect.

“She tasted like his.”
The mouthy relationship between Lieutenant Tyler, aka Lt. Dom, and Dolly Parton loving Ginger may sound jarring if you haven’t yet listened to book 1. And why wouldn’t you start there for some frisky ‘punish me officer, I’ve been a bad, bad girl’ shenanigans? Then, hit this naughty novella for one last criminally good time.

Narrator was great

I wish this narrator was the narrator on the full book. Loved this quick look into how the couple was doing. They were stressing me out with the miscommunication at first but it was HEA.
