Then Elena is mugged, and Sergeant Derek Holt of Boston PD is assigned to protect her—handsome, relentless, and impossible to resist. She’s stunned when he tells her the mugging wasn’t random. And that her sparkling Ms Greece crown contains stolen diamonds linked to an international smuggling ring!
With criminals closing in, the pageant finale approaching, and desire flaring between Derek and Elena, she must decide how far she’ll go to aid her cousin. Risk the crown. Risk arrest.
