SLOE SCREW by Nazarea Andrews
A Standalone Contemporary Romance
(River Street Bar series, #3)
Blurb:
Vivian Fitzpatrick is a big dreams girl stuck in a small town.
She likes her job, and she adores her friends, but there’s a tiny part of her that still wants adventure. Wants all the unfulfilled dreams to come true. She still wants to base jump and skydive and do everything her ex-boyfriend said she was too chicken-shit to do.
Which is probably how she ends up moonlighting for a phone sex line.
Matteo Soto is just trying to figure out how to live again.
A bomb in Iraq left half his unit dead, and Matteo broken. He puts on a good act--the rookie at RCPD, taking care of his dead best friend’s family. But it feels too much like going through the motions, too much like marking time.
He needs a reason to get up in the morning.
She needs to feel alive.

Excerpt:
Taite is snarling when she stalks in with my lunch a few hours later, and I eye her warily. No one has gotten shot or run into a burning building, so— “Gomez pissing you off?”
She bares her teeth at me, and I smile.
“I know your daddy taught you to play nice with others,” I tease.
“Dad hated getting new partners,” she scoffs.
I laugh, a throaty thing. “It’s only for the day, Tay. You can handle one day away from Miguel.”
She gives me a skeptical look. “Last time he was away for a day, he ended up a hostage in that bank robbery on Fifth, remember?”
I wince. She’s not wrong.
“That was a complete misunderstanding,” Miguel whines, coming over to loop an arm around Taite’s shoulders. She relaxes a little, leaning into him briefly before she elbows him in the gut. “And Crispin was a very nice bank robber.”
“We need to have another talk about befriending perps,” Taite mutters.
I laugh and look up—
And freeze. In the doorway stands a man, tall with dark hair and piercing green eyes. His half smile looks a little confused as he watched Miguel and Taite.
“Oh! Vivi, this is our new officer, Matteo Soto. Matteo, this is Vivian Fitzpatrick, our dispatcher and all around goddess. If there’s anything you need to know, she’s the best person to ask,” Miguel says, beaming at me.
“She’s also brilliant—so don’t play cards with her—and fun as hell, so definitely drink with her,” Taite adds with a smirk.
I point a red fingertip at her and narrow my eyes. “You behave. Don’t scare away fresh meat.”
Matteo laughs, and it’s husky and warm, stroking down my spine and making me want to purr.
“I like calculated risks,” he says, grinning at me.
