“I want you to meet my friend Sadie. Sadie, this is Jake Garcia.”
“Hey, Sadie.” Jake holds his hand across the bar.
I give it a firm shake. “Nice to meet you, Jake.”
“I’m putting in an order for a burger for Sadie,” Tracy says. “Will you make sure she gets it when it’s ready? She’s my bestie and I want you to take good care of her.”
A wink accompanies his smile.
“Absolutely,” Jake drawls. “I’ll take real good care of you, Miss Sadie.”
Tracy leaves and Jake cocks a hip on his side of the bar and studies me.
“Man troubles?” he asks.
My eyebrows wing up. “How can you tell?”
“I’ve had them before myself. I know the look.”
I sigh. “Let’s just say I thought I caught a good one, but I had to set him free.”
“Catch and release, huh?”
I laugh. “You got it.”
One of the cooks appears behind the bar. “Got a burger here, medium rare with everything plus fries.”
Jake takes the plate from him. “Got it. Thanks. This one’s yours, right?” He places it in front of me. “Need another drink to go with that, gorgeous?”
I glance at my wine glass. It’s almost empty. “Just water. I’m driving.”
“You are one good girl, aren’t you?”
“Yup, I follow the rules.”
“No adrenaline junkie then.”
“Jake, my whole life is about adrenaline. I’m a cop.”
His brows nearly jump off his forehead. “No way.”
“Way.” I take a bite of my burger. A little juice drips down my chin and I swipe it away with a napkin. “Which probably explains why I follow the rules.”
“You don’t look like any cop I’ve seen.” His dark gaze rakes over me.
“You want to see my badge?”
He grins. “I bet most men want to see your handcuffs.”
I shove another bite of burger in my mouth as I roll my eyes. Jake has no idea. While Miles wasn’t interested in restraints, I could see him getting kinky. That night was so hot. And amazing. I frown.
“Let me take care of a few drinks and I’ll come back and you can tell meallabout this guy of yours.”

“I’ll havesome more of that MacAllan now,” I tell Chance, once I’m able to think straight after that damned text.
