Today’s Page Brief features characters from Dangerous Chance, Law and Protection, Book #3. Enjoy!
From time to time there’s multi-part Page Brief’s that go together. I think of it as a Page Brief Serial and I name them. The below Page Brief Serial Attraction Bulletins features the books at the time I wrote these Page Brief’s that were available in my Law and Protection series. Eventually when books are released in the Law and Protection series an Page Brief might be written and if it is it will be added to the Attraction Bulletins Page Brief Serial. So this Page Brief Serial is a continuous one (at my discretion/time permits).
Attraction Bulletins is a multi-part Page Brief Serial and best read in order for the most enjoyment. They are usually in order of the Law and Protection series for which they are written about (unless otherwise noted).
This might be a rough draft so excuse any typos and so on.

Lissa pulled the last tray out of her oven. She turned and set it on the kitchen island then went back to the other pastries she was already working on. They were cool so now she could finish the process.
“Something smells good.”
She jumped slightly and put her hand over her chest. “Damn. You scared me.” She turned and walked over to him. She smacked him lightly in the chest. “I told you about that.”
“Sorry I thought you heard the door.” Cole slid his arms around her. “Now you’d think there’d be another way you’d greet me.”
“Just because you’ve been on a case doesn’t mean I missed you.” Lissa partially lowered her eyelids. “Who are your again?”
“The man who you can’t live without.” Cole teased. “The one who you love beyond all reasons.”
“Hmmm…there is some inkling dawning of who you might be.” She blinked innocently.
“Woman, stop giving me a hard time.” Cole hugged her tighter. “Do you need a taste tester?”
“Man, my giving you a hard time keeps me happy.” Lissa hugged him back, “Yes. But first.” She slid her hand behind his neck and pulled into her kissing him deeply.
She stepped back and walked away.
“Woman, you can’t kiss me like that and walk away.” Cole blew out a breath. “I missed you.”
She stopped and smiled. “I missed you too.” She turned and held out her hand. “Come and let me feed you.”
“I love your love language.” Cole took her hand.
“Food fills the soul.” She led him towards the island.
He took a seat on the opposite side from the stove. Lissa stepped close to him and cupped his cheek. She studied him. She didn’t like how he looked.
“You look so tired.” She kissed him softly. “When do you need to go back?”
Cole had been working a case. There had been no leads for a while then suddenly they had one. With that lead they had to do stakeouts, work long hours and eventually just stayed at the station bunking there. She hadn’t seen him in weeks. He had texted and called when he could. But she’d missed seeing him every day. Although her bakery had been busy as well as her having a few events it hadn’t distracted her from him not being there.
“I don’t.”
“You caught them.” She hugged him. “That’s great.”
“She finally made a mistake.” Cole looked fierce. “Justice for the deceased is a good thing but it still won’t bring them back.”
His sad expression tugged at her heart. Lissa held him. He leaned his head against hers. His familiar scent of sandalwood and vanilla filled her. Silent she rubbed her hands up and down his back. After a but he pulled back. His deep blue eyes were intense. He seemed to see everything. She smoothed back his blonde hair that framed his arresting face that was all angles and panes.
“No there’s not a way to bring them back but you got them justice. And any of their loved ones will know that.” She cupped his cheek again. “I’m going to feed you then put you to bed. You’re going to sleep for a while and not do anything else.”
“I love when you get all bossy,” he chuckled. “and take care of me.”
“You don’t know how to relax.” She glared at him. “I’m determined that you will learn. I love my lazy weekends and you will start enjoying them with me.”
“Ahhhh, that’s what you been trying to do.” He laughed. “Your subtle ways of trying to get me to relax and be lazy weren’t working.”
“I realize that which is why I’m not going to do subtle anymore and go for a sledgehammer between your eyes.” She smirked. “No more weekends of your planning things for us to do. You had us so busy doing this or that. From now on we’re going to be spontaneous. If we don’t want to do anything we won’t. If we want to do something or go out, we will. But chilling will be in there. Naps, good food and so on.”
Cole nodded. “I’d like that.”
Lissa hugged him. “You better. Although this isn’t the weekend this will be a prelude to chilling.”
Cole kissed her then pushed her away. “Feed me then put me to bed. I have a prelude to chilling to enjoy.”
Lissa chuckled as she went to the refrigerator. They both would enjoy the prelude to chilling and each other.
