What makes a sexy hero?  Well, there’s those bedroom eyes and hot body, of course.  But occasionally actions speak loudly too.  And in KISS ME IF YOU CAN, in stores 7/27, the hero, Coop, is a gentleman to Lexie’s quirky Grandma.  He’s indulgent when they find her drunk on Manischevitz Wine, when her attempts at texting interrupts them at inopportune moments, and all because Lexie adores her grandmother.

Sam Cooper (Coop) saves a jewelry store from a robbery and is given his choice of jewelry as a thank you.  He picks what he thinks/hopes is an inexpensive piece.  Lexie Davis sees the ring on the news and knows immediately it’s a match for her Grandmother’s necklace and sets out to meet Coop – and buy the ring as a surprise for her Grandma’s 80^th birthday!  Little do Coop and Lexie know, Grandma Charlotte has a secret past that Coop’s reporter instincts and the resurrection of the jewels threaten to reveal.  What ensues us a light fun romp – but one that leads Lexie to some painful family truths and puts Coop, an aspiring mystery writer, in the position of choosing between the story of a lifetime and hurting the woman he loves.
