Along for the Ride
By Michelle M. Pillow
Matthews Sisters Series Book #2
Detective Megan Matthews is cursed with always being right. Her instincts are good, her deductive reasoning even better. She’s found her hard-headed ways to be too much for most men, so she’s given up on trying to find Mr Right and has settled for arresting Mr Wrong.
Crime Scene photographer Ryan Andrews has had a crush on the sexy detective since he first took her photograph by accident at a crime scene. That picture became headline news and she hasn’t talked to him since. He’s tried everything to get her attention, but when nothing works he’s left with only one option. But is blackmailing a cop into marriage really a good idea?

What Readers Are Saying
Michelle Pillow, a Recommended Read by Jayne
“I found an intriguing gender switch. The heroine is the strong, alpha, work driven one. Her identity is work. Her life is work. She’s good at what she does however she doesn’t know how to really function outside of it. But you still managed to give her some vulnerability and not make her a one note character.”
