Publisher Description
NYC summer days are hot. Nights are even hotter…
Not much has stirred Detective Jake Lowell’s interest since a perp put a bullet in his shoulder, killed his partner, then walked on a technicality. Until a sexy waitress at a tiny neighborhood café catches his eye.
Physical therapy is the last thing on Jake’s want-to-do list, but he needs it to get back on the street and track down the killer. But what’s a guy to do when he meets his new PT—and it’s his smoking hot café angel?
Working two jobs, Brianne Nelson never expected to do more than fantasize about Mr. Tall, Tanned & Gorgeous. But when her new private PT client turns out to be the man who fuels her fantasies, she realizes she’s going to be seeing a lot more of him—in the flesh—than she bargained for.
It’s not long before skin-on-skin contact turns into a hot summer fling. But the killer Jake is after isn’t going down without a fight and more than their hearts could get caught in the crossfire…
Note: This title was originally published in 2002 by Harlequin Blaze. It appears here in its original glory, without substantial revision.

Passion filled!
4.5 Stars
This is book 4 in the Simply series and it features Jake and Brianna. Before these two actually met, the sparks were flying. Leave it to Jake’s sister, Rina, to play matchmaker and hire a PT to help with Jake’s shoulder injury. The PT is none other than the waitress Jake fantasizes about at a restaurant he only goes to because of her.
Their chemistry is SMOKIN HOT! This story is full of sexual tension, some amazing gym time, secrets, and action packed danger! It’s another fantastic read from an amazing author!

Page Turner!
After losing his partner and rehabbing his shoulder finally getting a chance to get closer to the one woman who is holding his attention. Brianna was hired by his sister to help her brother Jake with physical therapy. Their attraction and chemistry is off the charts. Louis Ramirez escaped Jake because of a technicality and now with Jake still tracking him he is going to go after something Jake wants. I so enjoyed Brianna learning to trust and take a chance on Jake and Jake realizing love is something to live for as well!
