Heat Lightning
An unidentified man is terrorizing Luz Maria Montoya. Almost strangled to death in a deserted parking lot, she has no idea who is the perpetrator of this very personal hate crime. Is it someone she's antagonized in her role as a community activist? The former lover who hid a violent side she deplores? Or maybe the partner of a cop whose life she inadvertently destroyed. Investigator Grant Holcomb has been assigned to find her attacker, but he makes no secret of his conflicting feelings. As Luz Maria receives threatening phone calls and grisly warnings, part of him wants to protect the sultry Latina, while the other half hopes the escalating tension between them will explode in an electrifying burst of Heat Lightning.

I was a little worried about this book when I first started reading it because the heroine is a character from Fade the Heat, but once again, I got sucked in easily and drawn into another amazing book by Colleen Thompson. My recommendation is to save this book until you think you're having a bad day. Luz Maria knows about bad days:)
