ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 24, 2018

She’s got probable cause to make her move . . .

Danika Silva can’t stand Lt. Greer Burns. Her roommate’s older brother may be sexy as hell, but he’s also a cold, unfeeling robot. She just wants to graduate and forget about her scowling superior. But when a dangerous mistake lands Danika on probation—under Greer’s watch—she’s forced to interact with the big, hulking jerk. Call him daily to check in? Done. Ride shotgun in his cruiser every night? Done. Try not to climb into his giant, muscular lap and kiss him? Umm…

Greer doesn’t let anything—or anyone—distract him from the job. Except lately, all he can think about is Danika. He’s wanted the beautiful, cocky recruit since the moment he saw her. But she’s reckless and unpredictable, and Greer is painfully aware of what can happen when an officer doesn’t follow the rules. Probation seemed like a good idea, but now Danika’s scent is in his car and he’s replayed her voicemails twenty times. Christ, he’s a goner.

Danika’s melting Greer’s stone-cold exterior one ride-along at a time. Being together could have serious consequences… but breaking a few rules never hurt anybody, right?

REVIEW: DISTURBING HIS PEACE is the third and final instalment in Tessa Bailey’s contemporary, adult THE ACADEMY erotic, romance series focusing on three police academy cadets: Charlie Burns, Jack Garrett and Danika Silva. This is police Lieutenant Greer Burns, and Danika Silva’s story line. DISTURBING HIS PEACE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.

Told fro dual first person perspectives (Danika and Greer) DISTURBING HIS PEACE follows the building relationship between police academy cadet Danika Silva, and Lieutenant Greer Burn. As one of the academy trainers Greer knows Danika is off limits but his attraction to our story line heroine is visceral; building as the weeks of training progress until an accidental meeting in the shower finds Greer revealing the extent of his physical attraction. Hoping to keep their relationship on the down low, all bets are off as Charlie and Jack, and their significant others watch from the sidelines as Greer and Danika battle between attraction, love and the ultimate fear of letting go.

Greer doesn’t do relationships, and isn’t willing to risk a relationship fearing rejection, or death on the job. Danika battles between her head and her heart believing Greer’s inevitable rejection will come at a cost.

The relationship between Greer and Danika is one of immediate attraction but Greer is Danika’s supervisor, and thusly our heroine is off-limits. The palpable sexual attraction is deep-seated; almost instinctive as our couple dance around one another throughout the series. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense. There is some light spanking; Lieutenant Burns likes to talk dirty both in and out of the bedroom.

All of the previous story line couples play secondary and supporting characters including Greer’s brother Charlie and his girlfriend Ever (Disorderly Conduct #1), as well as Jack Garrett and Katie McCoy (Indecent Exposure #2). We are introduced to Danika’s parents, as well as her cousin Robbie.

DISTURBING HIS PEACE is a decadent, sexy and spicy story line. The premise is energetic; the romance is captivating and provocative; the characters are sassy, spirited and real. DISTURBING HIS PEACE and The Academy series will captivate your attention, leaving you wanting more.

“It’s cold in here,” she rasps.

It’s sweltering—at least in our heated bubble— and the flicker in her gaze tells me she’s aware of her lie. “Would you like to be warmed up?”

“What do you mean by . . . warmed up?” She whispers, her tone suggesting she can’t believe she’s asking.

That makes two of us. But her encouragement to keep going, to keep talking like this to her, has my hunger surging to an eleven. There’s something keeping me from touching her, like some mental fail-safe put in place for self-preservation.

I allow my mouth to brush those curls at her ears.

With a rough intake of air, she dips, legs losing power, and I surge forward on auto-pilot, my body and mind conditioned to save her from falling. The no touching rule is no longer a possibility.

 

Tessa Bailey is originally from Carlsbad, California. The day after high school graduation, she packed her yearbook, ripped jeans, and laptop, and drove cross-country to New York City in under four days. Her most valuable life experiences were learned thereafter while waitressing at K-Dees, a Manhattan pub owned by her uncle. Inside those four walls, she met her husband, best friend, and discovered the magic of classic rock, managing to put herself through Kingsborough Community College and the English program at Pace University at the same time. Several stunted attempts to enter the work force as a journalist followed, but romance writing continued to demand her attention.

She now lives in Long Island, New York with her husband and daughter. Although she is severely sleep-deprived, she is incredibly happy to be living her dream of writing about people falling in love.
