Blurb
Michael:
Two years ago I made a mistake, a big one, and then I threw in another couple just for good measure. I screwed up my life big time but I made it through. I was lucky.
Then I was given the opportunity for a fresh start. Two years in Auckland, NZ, ‘The City of Sails’. Away from the LA gossip, a chance to breathe, to get my life back together. I grabbed it and packed my new set of golden rules with me.
I don’t do relationships.

I don’t do relationships.
I don’t do commitment.
I don’t do white picket fences.
And I especially don’t do arrogant, holier-than-thou, smoking hot K9 officers who walk into my ER and rock my world.
Josh:
The only thing I know for certain about Dr. Michael Oliver is the guy is an arrogant, untrustworthy player, and I’d barely survived the last one of those in my life. Once was more than enough.
The man might be gorgeous but my eleven-year-old daughter takes number one priority and I won’t risk her being hurt, again. I’m a solo dad, a K9 cop and a son to pain in the ass, bigoted parents.
I don’t have time for games.
I don’t have time for taking chances.
I don’t have time for more complications in my life.
And I sure as hell don’t have time for the infuriating Dr. Michael Oliver, however damn sexy he is.
Excerpt
Josh
was fuming. Fast pitch was one of the few activities he got to enjoy
on his own and now he had to put up with Michael freaking Oliver.
Arriving at Kendrick’s he’d immediately collared Mark at the bar
as the guy was buying a round.
“What
the hell, man? Whose idea was it to invite him?”
His
friend plastered a huge grin on his face and held up his hands in
surrender. “Nothing to do with me, mate. Boss man just asked me to
deliver him.”
“And
you couldn’t think of any reason that wouldn’t be a good idea?”
“What
was I going to say?” Mark studied his friend. “And honestly, he
seems a good guy and he plays a solid game.”
“I
don’t give a flying fuck if he plays like Nathan Nukunuku, he’s
an asshole.”
“Funny,
that’s what he called you.”
“Wait.
He called me an asshole?”
Mark
snorted. “Lighten up, Josh. Anyone would think you actually liked
the guy.”
“Fuck
off.”
Mark
whacked him on the back of his head.
“Ow,”
Josh protested.
“Suck
it up. You deserved it. So, the guy was cruising, so what? Oh. My.
God. What a scandal. And he even got lucky with a gorgeous young man,
well good for him. It’s not a crime. And besides, he’s hot. And
he hit on you. I would think that was reassuring, that you haven’t
lost it. You’re both obviously hot for each other.”
“I’m
a father of an eleven-year-old girl.”
“And
that came with getting your dick cut off, did it?”
“You
wouldn’t understand,” Josh dismissed the comment.
