The Cold Case Detectives series heats up with a sexy new hero in this story of revenge and desire.
A tough ex-SEAL turned private investigator, Lucas Curran vows that solving his sister’s murder must come first. Even before his raging attraction to Rachel Delany, who might be a fresh lead in the four-year-old case. It’s just that he can’t trust the down-on-her-luck beauty. He’s already been devastated once by a deceitful ex. Then there’s Rachel’s rap sheet…and her infuriating tendency to withhold the truth.
But when Rachel’s life goes up in flames, they’re forced to rely on each other. Because Rachel is more than just Lucas’s ticket to outsmarting a killer and serving up justice—she’s his second chance at a burning love he never thought possible.
“Please tell me what’s going on, Rachel.”
His grip tightened in her hair. Rachel stared breathlessly up into his intense face, seeing the strength of his concern for her and his angst that she wouldn’t trust him.
He brought his head down for an energy-packed kiss.
The impact stunned her, and an instant later fire melted any thought of resisting. She let him take her mouth and fell into the velvety passion, desire so strong she couldn’t comprehend where she ended and he began.
His kiss eased into a series of gentler, quicker ones.
“He almost killed you.” He kissed her again, hard, seeking reassurance that she still lived. “I thought he was going to.”
“Lucas.”
His mouth covered hers yet again, his tongue going in for more drugging passion. Then he eased off. “I can’t lose another woman, Rachel. I can’t fail again.”
As he continued kissing her, she answered with equal fervor.
“Tell me,” he rasped.
Hearing his desperate need for her to trust him in at least that, Rachel nearly capitulated. But she could not trust him this way.
“I can’t,” she whispered harshly.
