The fourth book in the Stanislaski family saga by New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts! Read as standalone or as a series 📖
Bess McNee takes her research seriously. As one of the lead writers on New York's most-watched daytime drama, she doesn't just imagine the stories she tells — she lives them. Which is exactly how she ends up on a downtown street corner in stilettos and a blonde wig, taking notes on a world she's only ever written about.
It's also how she ends up getting arrested by Detective Alexi Stanislaski.
Alexi thought he had seen everything this city could throw at a person. Until he arrested a soap opera writer who treated the whole experience as a research opportunity. Warm, impulsive and dangerously observant, Bess is the last kind of woman Alexi should want. So why can’t he stop thinking about her?
Armed with a favour from the mayor, Bess talks her way into Alexi's precinct. Her favourite place to conduct research? The edge of Alexi’s desk. But somewhere between the noise, the paperwork and the long, difficult days, Alexi finds himself telling Bess things he has never told anyone.
Guarded Alexi has spent years building walls between his badge and the people he loves. Yet Bess dismantles every single one without even trying. He knows he should let her go. But walking away is impossible…
Irresistable, tender and achingly romantic, Convincing Alex is the grumpy vs sunshine romance that will steal your heart.
