The Clown Prince

Striking Mammoth #3

Gruff ex-Marine Sergeant Nick Pepper is known for his hard-nosed leadership of the ultra-alpha men of the town’s police task force, but few know his secret soft side: He spends his off time performing as a clown at the local children’s hospital. His other secret is his love for the sexy District Attorney Cindy Patterson, the one person in the world that can make the tough Marine weak in the knees with just a glance. Cindy quietly sponsors a charity to make the wishes of terminally-ill children a reality, but it is in financial trouble and will have to shut down if she can’t produce a miracle. If she can get the help of Nick with their last public event, they may be able to save the charity, but it would mean the end of his undercover career. Will his love for Cindy and his passion for helping sick children convince him to trade in everything he’s spent his life building and become Cindy’s Clown Prince?
