Katrina Erickson, once a successful television news
broadcaster, is the only surviving victim of a horrific
serial killer known as The Butcher. When the police were not
able to protect her from a second attack, she took her life
into her own hands. Now living as Kate Johnson, she is the
home aide for a blind Viet Nam veteran named Smokey Joe. He
has a secluded cabin in Colorado that works perfectly for
Kate's needs.
When there is another murder attributed to The Butcher, Kate
panics and starts planning to run again. Before she can get
away, FBI profiler Agent Hayden Reed is able to track her
down. He has been searching for The Butcher for a long time
and Kate is his only witness. The two of them clash pretty
badly at first but, eventually; she reluctantly agrees to go
with him as long as he can arrange for Smokey Joe to have
good care.
Together, the two of them work to catch this monster while
an attraction grows stronger between them each day. The
problem is that these are both very damaged people that are
seeking to put their own demons behind them. Will what they
feel for each be enough to stay safe from a murderous serial
killer as well as give them a new life? The serial killer is
closer than anyone knows and is determined to make Kate pay
for escaping him the first time around. However, Hayden is
just as determined to keep Kate safe and will do whatever it
takes.
The characters in THE BROKEN are wonderfully three
dimensional. They
practically leap off the page and stand in your living room.
As I read, I kept thinking what a terrific movie it would
make. That's how great THE BROKEN is!
Remember the name Shelley Coriell! If you are a true fan of
romantic suspense, this will be an important writer for you.
Ms. Coriell has created an exciting story with THE BROKEN
and I
am thrilled to know that she has another book coming out
soon in this series. Her writing style will keep you
enthralled as you make the terrifying and passionate journey
with Kate and Hayden on the way to trying to reclaim their
lives and, possibly, make one together.
Three years ago, reporter Kate Johnson was the first
victim-and only survivor-of the Broadcast Butcher. Scarred
both physically and psychologically by the brutal serial
killer, Kate lives life on the run, knowing that one day, he
will find her and finish what he started.
In the pursuit of justice, you sometimes have to step
outside the law
Agent Hayden Reed spends his life chasing monsters. The
only way to stay sane is to detach, but the second the
Broadcast Butcher case crosses his desk, Hayden knows this
is the case that might just cost him his soul. To catch this
vicious murderer before he strikes again, Hayden must find
Kate and earn her trust. For it's her darkest secrets that
hold the key to stopping this madman once and for all . . .
