Zoey Addler, a feisty, beautiful redhead, never imagined jumping into Lips of Sin’s lavish BMW, but heck, she had to, didn’t she?  Federal Agent Dante Torelli is Lips of Sin, who Zoey privately nicknamed after he moved into her apartment complex.  She shovels out a parking spot, free of snow, in front of the building.  When he pulls into her clean space, Zoey yells at him about his rudeness, but something catches her eye.  A man is running out of her apartment building with a baby under his arm, and it is her niece, Pete!  Shots ring out and Dante squashes her to the ground, covering her.  When the gun-toting man speeds off in his vehicle, Dante and Zoey quickly jump up, hop into his car and she says, “Follow that baby!”   

Federal Agent Dante Torelli, a remarkably handsome man with abs of steel, is on the most dangerous chase of his life.  He is supposed to be meeting with his FBI associates at a safe house, but an unexpected turn of events has just cropped up.  After a gunman snatches the baby daughter from the man who is due to stand trial against mob boss, Tony the Rose, and runs from the apartment building across from the parking lot, violently shooting, life turns very deadly indeed.  Things are even more complex, because now there is a gorgeous red haired, blue-eyed babe sitting right next to him in his car.  His hormones rage out of control with the close proximity of her body.  Though he yearns to kiss her, he has a baby-stealing maniac to chase. Zoey might have an unconventional view on life, but Dante falls for her even more as he gets to know her.

 

As murdered bodies stack up left and right, a baby snatcher running amok, and madcap aunties chasing down their stolen, valuable, illegal spices, there is a killer out there with a very deadly agenda.  After cops circle Dante’s car and draw their guns on him, it is obvious that someone has set him up.  Who is the coldblooded assassin?  Will Lips of Sin and Blue Eyed Babe manage to elude the killer? As they race against time, the close quarters in the BMW ignites a sexual magnetism between the dishy FBI agent and the sensual redhead. Will they remember to rescue Pete? 

 

FOR THE LOVE OF PETE is an exhilarating story of deception, car chases, murder and hot romance.  When a baby girl is abducted from a man who is about to stand on trial against a mob boss, things go haywire.  Zoey Addler, a verbally candid, red haired beauty jumps into a lush BMW with sumptuous Lips of Sin, FBI Agent Dante Torelli, after eye witnessing her niece Pete being abducted by a crazy, gun-toting man.  They race down the streets, eluding the cops and hiding from crazy shooting killers.

 

Sexy innuendos, hot kisses, tender embraces and sensuous glances steam up the windows of the BMW, as Dante and Zoey spend quality time together in the bullet-riddled car. I kept a cool glass of iced tea nearby to cool me off!  Ms. Harper employs a brisk, edgy style to her writing as she propels her heroes on the drive of their life.  Other unexpected developments will take readers by surprise. There are wacky and dangerous characters galore along with unpredictable plot twists.  I fell in love with the crazy aunties as they race to retrieve their illegal spices back. Ms. Harper has a special gift of making readers laugh at the antics between the bantering heroes as the story catapults along.  Hold on to your seat as you go on a thrilling ride FOR THE LOVE OF PETE!
