Sparks fly between a detective and the woman he’s driven to protect
A Cold Case Detectives romance...
Nomadic detective Roman Cooper struggled to carve out a life for himself. But when a suspicious death calls him home, he lets instinct lead him to Kendra Scott. Irresistibly confident, Kendra is certain that someone murdered her sister and insists on working the case with him. Tracking a killer puts them both in jeopardy, and Roman must confront a different threat: the temptation to stay.

“Are you sure about this?”
Roman didn’t glance back at Kendra, who had arrested his senses when she came out of her house dressed like a cat burglar. Sexy as hell.
He heard and felt the click of the lock as he picked it.
“Yes.”
“But if we find anything, it won’t be admitted as evidence.”
He lifted the overhead door. “Only if we take it with us.” Anything they found he’d photograph and leave. Nobody had to know he’d been in this unit.
“I’d never get a warrant without enough cause and we don’t have enough cause. Yet. I hope to find something to go on in here.”
“Something that will give us cause.”
“Yes.” He turned on the light on his hat and turned to Kendra to turn on hers. The light showed him the soft, pretty lines of her face and her green eyes looking up at him, emitting the same heat he felt kindling inside him.
“Don’t look at me like that right now,” he said.
“Like what?”
“Like you want me to kiss you.”

Cold Case Detectives: Powerful investigations, unexpected passion...
When I decided to write Hometown Detective, I wanted to set the story in a charming small town. I picked Chesterville, West Virginia (which is a fictitious town, as are most of the towns in my stories), because of its location near Monongahela National Forest in the Appalachian Mountains. So, the town is as dear to me as the characters. Roman Cooper is a hometown man. He just needs the right woman to bring him back there!
