Stacey Brighton and Jack Logan have spent six years working side by side as detectives. They’re an unlikely pair, but their differences make them unstoppable. Jack, reckless and unpredictable, thrives on instinct, while Stacey, precise and disciplined, follows every rule to the letter. Together, they’ve solved cases no one else could touch.
But when a college student vanishes without a trace, the boundaries between professional and personal begin to blur. Jack finds himself pulled in every direction, chasing leads, managing his chaotic family, and confronting his feelings for Stacey he’s kept buried for too long.
For Stacey, the case proves more dangerous than she ever expected. Caught in the middle of a deadly game, she struggles to maintain the composure that has always defined her. And with the chemistry between her and Jack igniting to a new level, the woman who never falters begins to crack.
I enjoy spending time on the water and exploring the city and country. My love of stories and books was cultivated at a young age, with a house filled from floor to ceiling with thousands of novels. I particularly love black ops and alien romances, but will read just about anything.
Inspired by my travels from around the globe and my eclectic community of family and friends, I mold so much of my own experiences into my work by building worlds and characters that feel real, exciting, and disarmingly familiar.
Murder mysteries, police procedurals, and buddy cop stories all depend on good communication among the characters to be successful. Romances, on the other hand, depend greatly on the characters not communicating well, if at all. I was curious to see how the author would resolve that conflict, and wasn't disappointed.
The story flips back and forth between the main characters, exploring their relationship and the cases they are working. It works well and keeps the story moving at a good clip. The solution wasn't a surprise for me, but was satisfying nonetheless. I look forward to the next book.
