Harlow O'Neill is waiting for Javier Montoya to make his move. She has it bad for the gorgeous new investigator at Nightingale Investigations and Security. She's sure he knows it. She's also sure he's just as into her.

And she's read the Rock Chick books. She knows how those Hottie Squad men are supposed to win their women.

Javi is just not trying to win her.

Then one evening Harlow is undercover on a mission for the Avenging Angels, and Javi blows her cover. She's not happy about it. They share words and some of the ones Javi uses aren't all that great.

Harlow retreats. Javi goes on the advance.

And the man Harlow was investigating winds up dead.

The Angels go all in to discover what's happening with a dating app scam that ended up with a dead guy. The Nightingale men aren't fans of the women wading in on such a dangerous case, and they're doing something about it.

It's a race between the Angels and the Hottie Squad as to who's going to solve the mystery.

While all of that happens, Javi's not taking any chances with Harlow's safety. He moves her into his place and Harlow learns firsthand what it means to be in the romantic crosshairs of a member of the Hottie Squad...and the heartbreaking reasons why Javi kept her at arm's length.
