Benjamin Stone has an unrealistic determination to rid the streets of New York from any and all drug dealing scum. That determination quickly moves him and his partner, Rob Withers, up the ranks to Senior Narcotics Agents within their precinct. A new case assisting the FBI has Ben facing the ghosts of his past. Those same ghosts are the very reason he moved to New York to become a cop.

Ella Parker is bright, beautiful, kind, and severely damaged as a result of one tragic night in her past. Having lived an idealistic life, that horrific night sent her pretty castle of cards crumbling down. Forced to start over, she leans on her best friend, Andrea Hensen, to help her move on. With Andrea’s help, Ella quickly settles into her new life in New York City. It’s a safe and comfortable existence, albeit very boring.

Their paths may have never crossed, if it hadn’t been for their meddling best friends. Rob and Andrea believe that Ben and Ella are soul mates that were meant to be together, a perfect match. There’s one slight problem. Ben and Ella want no part of this matchmaking scheme. Funny thing about fate, it’s inevitable.

Or is it?

Can a truth cause the possibility of a happily ever after to crash and burn? Ben and Ella learn that sometimes truth isn’t the best answer. Sometimes ignorance is most definitely bliss.

This is a standalone book,but I hope there is a book 2 with follow up stories to all the characters. I loved the story and characters that much!!This is the story of Ben and Ella, Ben a NYC cop with a mission, to rid the city of drugs and the mob that sells them.(He has a back story- read to find out) His partner and best friend(since the police academy)Rob ,Rob and his girlfriend Andrea would love to see Ben in a loving relationship, not just a hook-up or casual sex.Ben refers to them as Barbie and Ken. Rob's girlfriend Andrea introduce Ben to Ella, both feel and fight the attraction/sparks (chemistry) until the walls they have both built start to crack(She also ha a back story-read to find out). They have a connection their back stories, and their story is full of twists and turns, that we the reader never see coming. A romance/love story with suspense, drama and lots of emotional moments. They have lost due to violence, and are both afraid to love, together can they find love with each other? This book is well written and like all A.M.'s books, you too will lose sleep, saying just one more page, one more chapter til the book is all read!!!I was given this ARC to BETA read and write an honest review. Release on Amazon March 3rd .HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!!!!!
