Past Midnight — Ranae Rose

Peyton knows better than to get involved with a cop. When Officer Elijah Bennett responds to the burglary of her island boutique, she couldn't care less what he looks like in uniform, let alone out of it. In fact, she can't wait for him to leave and doesn't bother to hide it. So why does he come back to help her when no one else will? Protecting and serving paradise isn't easy... When helping an independent woman caught in a tough situation sparks a smoldering attraction, Elijah can't get her out of his head. He can't get her to trust him, either â€" at least not at first. And when her walls finally come down, the truth they reveal is staggering. She has every reason to hate him. He has every reason to walk away. It's still not enough to keep them apart, but when the unexpected strikes it threatens everything he's ever wanted, including his connection with her. Book 2 in the South Island PD Series
