Danger on His Doorstep by LJ Vickery

Honey “Danger” Thibault is floundering in unfamiliar territory: attracted to a man. Not that males aren’t her preference, but she’s been treated so despicably by the men who have been in her life, she’s sworn off the opposite sex, forever. Or so she thinks. The cop she’s become fixated on is a good guy. She’s sure of it. From what she’s observed, his whole life is about helping others. But if what she’s feeling is an actual crush, how does she move forward with that? Lacking experience, she puts her muscle where her mouth is, and throws herself into the middle of a bar brawl he’s trying to break up. Maybe her fighting prowess will make the handsome officer take notice.
It could be his near concussion—having been beaned by a bar stool—that has something to do with Mac Mantrose suddenly noticing the strawberry-blonde, pocket-hell-cat who comes to his aid. He knows her, after all. She’s part of a group he’s become friendly with out at Safety Tulaine’s farm. He kicks himself when, with a slip of the tongue, he calls her beautiful. Mac sees skepticism instantly flaring up in her pretty brown eyes, but he’s not taking it back. She’s freaking gorgeous. How had he not noticed that before? It defies his past experiences, but this shy conundrum of a woman just does something for him.
