Detective Lucian: Protecting Paradise

A relentless killer. A stubborn detective. A woman who refuses to break.

Josie

I've worked two jobs for as long as I can remember-realtor in the afternoon, hotel host before sunrise. Exhausting? Absolutely. But after years of grinding, my nest egg is almost full, and my dream is finally within reach.

Then one client crosses a line.

And everything spirals.

Someone is watching me. Waiting. And the infuriatingly intense Detective Lucian Warrick-the man who drives me crazy on a good day-is suddenly the only shield between me and the darkness closing in.

He swears he'll protect me.

He swears he won't let anything happen to me.

I pray he gets to me in time.

Lucian

Josie Hale crashes into my life with a smart mouth, a stubborn streak, and a smile I can't shake. She gets under my skin in all the wrong ways... and all the right ones.

When a predator sets his sights on her, lines blur fast. And keeping her safe means ignoring the heat between us, the one that could burn down every rule I've lived by.

I'll tear apart this island to stop him.

I'll put my life on the line without hesitation to save her.

Because somewhere between the chaos, the danger, and her damn irresistible sass... I realized Josie Hale isn't just another case.

She's mine to love and protect.

When it comes to Josie... losing isn't an option.

I'll do whatever it takes to keep her with me...forever.

Detective Lucian is a first-person, dual POV, slow burn, stalker/kidnapping/rescue, protector/bodyguard, police, small-town romantic suspense. HEA guaranteed.
