His heart slam-dunks his brain when he realizes that the stranded motorist is Liz Braden, the woman who jilted him. She is wearing a wedding dress, which tells Mitch that flighty Liz has punished another groom. The wedding dress has a bloodstain that worries the sleuthing side of Mitch. However, P.I. aside, Mitch knows he still desires Liz, but does not trust her anymore. While unraveling the mystery behind why the only woman he ever loved recently fled Boston, he plans to bed her without a marriage license.The second novel in the "Magnificent McCoy Men" mini series is a wonderful romantic intrigue that will have readers anxiously awaiting book three. THE P.I WHO LOVED HER is pure fun as the lead protagonist struggles with his love for a woman who deserted and embarrassed him while wanting to keep her safe from whomever is after her.
