Deadly Intuition (Hardy Brothers Security #2)

Grady Hardy is a bachelor to the core. He doesn't want a wife. He certainly doesn't want a girlfriend. One-night-stands and occasional dalliances are all he can handle. The errand his brother, James, gave him is more than enough responsibility to last him for an entire week.
He certainly didn't see her coming.
Sophie Lane is dedicated to her job. She's a reporter -- and she loves it. She likes important stories and county corruption. She has big dreams -- dreams that will one day take her out of Michigan and to New York City. She's got a plan. She doesn't need any romantic entanglements.
When she meets Grady Hardy, she's beyond annoyed. Sure, he saved her from the guy accosting her with vague threats and hidden innuendo, but his swollen ego is too much for her to bear. Sophie is chasing a big story: Almost $600,000 is missing from the county coffers. It looks like someone at the sheriff's department is knee-deep in an embezzlement scandal. Finding those funds is the problem, and her focus.
Grady doesn't want to anything to do with Sophie. She's rude, obnoxious, and a little too full of herself. When their worlds collide, though, he's not sure he can stay away.
Sophie knows Grady isn't ready for a relationship. Sex is one thing, a future together is another. Unfortunately for her, her heart disagrees.
When Sophie's life is in danger, Grady is ready to fight for her survival -- and a future he didn't even know he wanted. Her heart is a whole other story.

This is the second book in the Hardy Brothers Security series.
