Slow Dating the Detective — Sue Brown

Cowboys and Angels: Book Three

A gentle bartender might have what it takes to mend a relationship-phobic detective''s broken heart. but first they have to admit they''re dating.

Keenan Day could kick himself for letting the hot, dark-haired stranger he met outside a strip club get away. Instead of a phone number, he gets a punch in the face-from the boyfriend of his prospective employer at the Cowboys and Angels bar. When two cops come to check up on him, one is the sexy stranger, Detective Nate Gordon.

The initial attraction hasn''t cooled, and though Nate is leery of commitment, one hookup turns into another until they''re seeing each other in everything but name. After a recent nasty breakup, Nate balks at being part of a couple, and Keenan agrees, even though that''s all he''s ever wanted.

Just as they reach a standstill, a crisis shows them what their friends have known all along-they''ve already moved way past hookups. Now they just have to decide how to move forward.
