One Small Victory

Mature love can sometimes be the best love.When she worked with Detective Steve Morrity two years ago as a member of a drug task force, Jenny Jasik couldn't deny the pull of a very strong attraction that went both ways. Then the case ended, but they both realized it was still too soon to act on the chemistry.Emotional wounds were still too fresh and raw, so they had followed their heads, not their hearts. Now, they've tossed logic out the window, and they're ready to give love a chance.But when Jenny's flower shop is burglarized and Steve's boss reminds him that it is against policy for an officer to date a victim of a crime, is it a sign it's not meant to be - or can they find happiness together? Maryann Miller, an award-winning author, has been in love with story-telling since she was a child and used to scare her sister with stories of the monsters in the cellar.
