*~*Love Note: Landon to Daphne – Just Once by Addison Fox*~*
Detective Daphne Rossi needs to figure out a way to get her career out from under her family s overbearing shadow, and she may have just found her solution in genius computer whiz Landon McGee . . .
In exchange for looking deeper into a robbery at Landon s software firm, Daphne asks for a deal of her own: she needs him to play her boyfriend. A couple months of hand-holding around her family to get them off her back, and both Daphne and Landon walk away with what they want.
Just as their fake relationship starts heating up for real, a family secret shakes Landon to the core. As Landon struggles to find what is real in his life, and come to terms with the people he thought he knew, can he find solace in the one woman he thought he didn t know at all?
Check out the first book in the Brooklyn Brotherhood Series…
Welcome to Park Heights, Brooklyn where three brothers discover the meaning of family, and taking a chance on love.
After a year of turmoil, Emma Vandenburg Bradley returned home to Park Heights to run her family’s business – a Brooklyn institution – Unity brewery. Still trying to get her feet back under her, she definitely doesn’t want to be on the spectacularly bad date that ends with getting caught in a bar fight and her high school crush coming to her rescue.
Nick Kelley’s career in the NFL was cut short, but now he has a successful bar in Brooklyn and his dream of buying the Unity brewery is about to come true. Until he realizes that the mystery woman he saved—and shared a steamy kiss with—is none other than his high school chemistry partner, Emma…who happens to be a part owner of Unity. And she’s not interested in selling her family’s legacy.
When Emma and Nick find themselves on opposing sides, both are willing to do anything to win. But as their connection grows deeper, they become torn: Can they choose between their love for Unity and their plans for the future—and for each other?
Landon’s note is sweet, cute and quirky…it’s simply adorable!

Daphne-
You know I’m not comfortable with my feelings. I’d rather spend all day programming zombies (or God help me, endless rows of exploding jewels) instead of talking about how I feel or the ghosts of my past. Yet somehow with you, I can talk about those things and come out the other side stronger and better for it.
I love your smile. I love your strength. I love your willingness to go after the bad guys, no matter the cost. I love your body. I love your mind. And I love that I can appreciate both in equal measure. (Though I really do love your ass).
In the end, I just love you. There’s no one I’d rather survive the zombie apocalypse with. Or take to my mother’s for Sunday brunch.
Love,
Landon
Addison Fox can’t remember a time when words weren’t a part of her life. An avid reader, her love of the written word started at the tender age of 1 with The Owl and the Pussycat by Edward Lear (a poem she could recite by heart to any family member who would listen). Dr. Seuss, C.S. Lewis, Judy Blume and a host of others quickly followed until she discovered THE CLAN OF THE CAVE BEAR by Jean M. Auel while writing a paper at the library in the 7th grade. Although not a classic romance, Ayla and Jondalar’s love story moved her firmly to the romance section of the bookstore and she hasn’t looked back!
2013 will be a busy year, with two new series launching. The Boardrooms & Billionaires series with Entangled Indulgence will debut with TEMPTING ACQUISITIONS (Jan) and follow up with MERGER TO MARRIAGE (May) and THE BILLIONAIRE’S DEMANDS (Oct).
The House of Steele series for Harlequin Romantic Suspense launches in July with THE PARIS ASSIGNMENT.
And two new stories in the Alaskan Nights series will be out – FROM THIS MOMENT ON (Penguin eNovella, July) and JUST IN TIME (Aug).
Addison lives in Dallas. She loves to get email from readers.
