THE ROSE TATOO Where the special of the day is danger for dinner…and romance for dessert!

The wrong man… Haley Jenkins's best friend, Claire, had the habit of picking Mr. Wrong—and it might have cost her her life. Claire was missing, last seen at the fertility clinic where she'd gone to conceive a much-wanted baby. And Haley wanted answers. The right time What she didn't want was Detective Dalton Ross, dark-haired, broad shouldered and absolutely convinced she and Claire were a pair of spoiled women playing at life. She also didn't want threats from her boss, ninety-degree heat and the knowledge that her biological clock was ticking just as loudly as Claire's had been. Dalton—and everything else that was happening to Haley—definitely wasn't what she wanted. But sometimes you get what you need.
