Frisk Me
New York’s Finest #1
By: Lauren Layne
Releasing July 28, 2015
Forever
Blurb
After a photograph of Luc
Moretti saving a tourist hits social media, he instantly becomes New York's
most famous and beloved cop. When a major network decides to run a special on
the "American Hero," Luc's boss gives him no choice but to cooperate
in the name of good exposure for the department. Luc doesn't mind the celebrity
status-what he does mind is the gorgeous brunette journalist who's been assigned
to follow his every move. Especially since she also happens to be the same
knockout that rejected him rather publicly the week before.
Ava Sims is a woman who
gets what she wants. And what she wants is to be CBC's lead anchor-but to get
there, she'll need to nail the fluff piece on the playboy cop. Luc Moretti is
everything Ava knows to stay away from: a stubborn charmer with a hero-complex.
But the more Ava gets to know Luc and his oddball family, the more she realizes
that beneath the swagger and the blue uniform is a complex man who makes her
heart beat too fast. Soon, Ava's doing the unthinkable, and falling for the
best of New York's finest ...

A
woman stood in the back corner of the room, helping herself to coffee from the
fancy coffee machine Brinker kept for his own personal use.
Her
body was mostly hidden by one of the horrible potted plants that Brinker’s wife
insisted gave his office “homey character.”
And
then she stepped into plain view.
He
couldn’t help it; he checked her out. Everything about the woman demanded a
second look, the legs in particular.
Luc
had never really considered himself a legs-man, being more of an “equal
opportunity” guy when it came to female body parts. (Although, if his mother
ever asked, he’d swear up and down that he only ever noticed personality. Maybe
the eyes.)
But
the legs on this one were damn near perfect. For that matter, the high breasts
and slim waist also earned high marks.
Her
subdued black skirt and white blouse should have been boring, but they’d
obviously been perfectly tailored to fit her trim frame perfectly.
The
black high heels were icing on the already perfect cake.
Then
he looked at her face, and for a second, Luc felt just a little bit dazed.
If
anything, her features were even more perfect than the body. Her eyes were
maybe just slightly too large for her otherwise petite features, but there was
no doubt about it, the woman was stunning.
And
yet, there was something else there too, just beyond the jolt of sexual
awareness.
Recognition.
Luc
might not have his brother Vincent’s photographic memory, but he was pretty
damn good with faces. And he was pretty sure he knew this one. His brain
scrambled to place her, but he kept coming up empty.
Her
eyes narrowed almost imperceptibly on Luc, and his narrowed right back. He
definitely knew her from somewhere.
She
gave him a slow, knowing smile. “Fifth and Fortieth, three years ago.”
He
shook his head to indicate he didn’t follow.
“You’re
trying to figure out how you know me. Three years ago, you gave my news van a
parking ticket, and we exchanged…words. That’s where you know me from. I’m Ava
Sims.”
