His eyes twinkled and the corner of his mouth twitched. âCurtis Lawler, Connâs older brother.â He didnât offer a hand to shakeâjust stepped closer, completely invading her personal space. âAnd youâre Sara.â
âFigured that out on your own, detective, or did they show you my mug shot in advance to make things easier?â
âItâs Constable first class, but thatâs a mouthful, even for one that works as well as yours. Probably easiest if you call me sir.â
âNever going to happen, lawman.â
âNeverâs a long time,â Curtisâ gaze locked with hers and a wicked smile curved his sensual lips, âand for the record, Iâm not a patient man.â

Nia and Connâs wedding will be fairytale perfectâŚif their siblings can get along.
Free-spirited, anti-establishment Sara has always been on the outside of her familyâs fairytale mold. Now sheâs being forced smack into the middle of it at her sister Niaâs wedding. Alongside the cocky and annoyingly sexy best manâConnâs cop brother.
Curtis doesnât buy in to organized romance and fairytales. But for his brother, heâll throw on a tux and fake it for a few hours. His flak vest would have been a better choice around the maid of honor. He should have brought his handcuffs too, because somebody needs to restrain the dark-haired spitfireâand heâs just the man for the job.
One night to indulge the spark between them, then goodbyeâthat was the agreement. Curtis isnât looking for a relationship and he sure doesnât want a troublemaker for a girlfriend. The last thing Sara needs in her daily life is a cop looking over her shoulder, no matter how hot he is.
But giving in to their chemistry is much more fun than giving it upâŚ

He told her to call him ‘sir?’ Wow, I’d have gone for something more biting than ‘lawman,’ in response.
