First Star I See Tonight

By Susan Elizabeth Phillips

Book Overview

A no-nonsense sports hero and a feisty female detective go head-to-head in this funny, fresh, seductive novel from Susan Elizabeth Phillips, the award-winning New York Times bestselling author known for her unforgettable characters, heartfelt emotion, and laugh-out-loud humor.

Piper Dove is a woman with a dream--to become the best detective in the city of Chicago. First job? Trail former Chicago Stars quarterback, Cooper Graham. The problem? Graham's spotted her, and he's not happy.

Which is why a great detective needs a first rate imagination. "The fact is ... I'm your stalker. Not full-out barmy. Just ... mildly unhinged."

Piper soon finds herself working for Graham himself, although not as the bodyguard he refuses to admit he so desperately needs. Instead, he's hired her to keep an eye on the employees at his exclusive new nightclub. But Coop's life might be in danger, and Piper's determined to protect him, whether he wants it or not. (Hint: Not!) If only she weren't also dealing with a bevy of Middle Eastern princesses, a Pakistani servant girl yearning for freedom, a teenager who just wants to fit in, and an elderly neighbor demanding that Piper find her very dead husband.

And then there's Cooper Graham, a legendary sports hero who always gets what he wants--even if what he wants just might be an intrepid detective hell bent on proving she's as tough as he is.

From the bustling streets of Chicago to a windswept lighthouse on Lake Superior to the glistening waters of Biscayne Bay, two people who can't stand to lose will test themselves and each other to discover what matters most.

Hillarious, Charming, Sweet

This is SEP at her best! A very nice and long overdue addition to the Stars line! Although many of the older characters don't appear as often as I would like it was still nice to hear from them! Great as a stand alone also if you haven't read any of the other Stars books! Simply Wonderful!
