Clint Marshall has previously judged his partner Laura Carter by rumor and her Ice Princess appearance, but her actions give him reason to reevaluate his opinion.

The realization only makes Laura more attractive.Laura has spent months fantasizing about Clint's Stetson on her pillow. She can't imagine anything sexier than a cowboy in her bed, but no man is allowed past her permafrost exterior. Like her mother, men are her weakness, so Laura copes by not dating and focused exclusively on her career. Clint is the only man who ever made her want to shed her stuffy socialite appearances. But when the undercover assignment ends, Clint plans to become the sheriff his small Texan hometown, leaving the Windy City and the socialite far behind. Author Molly Liholm brings her love of word play and quirky sense of humor to A STETSON ON HER PILLOW.

exciting police procedural romance
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Chicago Police Department Captain Sam Clark informs detectives Clint Marshall and Laura Carter that they will go under cover as a married couple. Laura rejects the idea of spending any time with the Texas "Cowboy". Clint silently agrees with her assessment, as he does not want to spend time with Miss Society. Clark could not care less what his two employees think so Clint and Laura play the role of a married couple. Apparently the mark, Peter Monroe wants acceptance in society and once dreamed of being a cowboy while growing up in New Jersey. Thus, the Cowboy and Miss Society are to become married friends of Peter in order to find evidence linking him to the Russian Mafia. As Laura and Clint pretend to be a loving couple, they fall in love for real, but there is no way a Boston blue blood and a two Horse Junction Texan could form anything permanent once the Monroe assignment ends. A STETSON ON HER PILLOW is an exciting police procedural romance that starts playfully hot over three days of role playing before turning into two days of torrid reality. The charming lead protagonists are an odd couple who shares in common police work and love. Though the "compromise" ending will annoy some readers, Ms. Liholm provides a heated tale of opposites finding love as the common denominator.Harriet Klausner
