Detective Olivia Southerland is doing her best to get back
to investigating, but her last case left her with panic
attacks whenever she gets near a dead body. Her personal
life is suffering as well, avoiding friends, keeping to
herself, all while nursing a broken and battered heart.
Olivia's latest crime scene involves a double homicide and
the local fire department. She is dreading the possibility
that David Hunter is one of the brave men risking their
lives to secure evidence. Their short history together left
a lasting impression on her heart, and when he put in for a
transfer from Chicago to her city, she thinks maybe he has
come for her. David and Olivia can no longer avoid one
another as the case evolves, endangering those around them
and forcing them to face the past.
David Hunter carries a wealth of guilt because of one
tragic night 18 years ago. It is engrained deep and
dictates his life as a fireman and his ability to help
those who are in need. After consuming too much alcohol at
a wedding, he meets the one woman capable of helping him
survive, only to make a huge mistake. He wakes up alone,
desperate to ease his mind that he didn't hurt her, so he
moves to her city to make things right and wait for her to
contact him. Seven months later, he has not said a word and
neither has she, but their jobs and mutual friends force
contact between them. Fate takes it out of their hands when
Olivia arrives on the same arson case. Together David and
Olivia do what they can to protect the innocent and work to
put the past behind them.
Karen Rose weaves an alluring tale of intrigue and
forgiveness with strong characters and an action-packed
plot. A total page-turner until the end; I could not put it
down. Awesome read!
"A high-octane thrill ride that kept me on the edge of my
seat and up far too late at night!" --Lisa
Jackson
When a teenage girl dies in a suspicious
fire, Detective Olivia Sutherland is assigned to track down
the arsonist. Then she discovers something more sinister: a
vicious blackmailer who preys on young people and murders
without hesitation. Making her work even harder is sexy
firefighter David Hunter. He's not only sharing the case but
sparking memories of their long-ago night of passion, when
feelings were left unspoken and hearts were
broken.
David has his own ghosts, and a million
regrets. But while he and Olivia try to face the wall of
pain between them, a diabolical puppet master is pulling
strings to make a group of twentysomethings do his bidding.
Soon Olivia and David are scouring the city for a
calculating criminal who seems tantalizingly close--and is
moving in for the kill.
