A Detached Raider

Falling in love might be more dangerous than the serial killer they're hunting…

Working a murder is one thing. It's Detective Cade Lawson's job, after all. Getting roped into a team-up with an out-of-town detective who brings out all of his insecurities and makes him want things he can't have? That's where Cade draws the line. Or he would, if his captain would just let him. As it is, he'll have to suck it up and try not to fall for Mr. Tall, dark, and grumpy. Should be easy, right?

The serial killer Detective Cole Banks has been trying to catch for years leads him out of town and straight into the hands of the most annoying man he's ever met. He's also instantly attracted to him, which only makes him question his sanity. Cole doesn't want to want Cade, but the man slowly draws him in as they work together to catch their killer.

Despite a rocky start to their partnership, Cade sees something in Cole that makes him believe a relationship between them is worth the risk. To his heart and his job. He can't help trying to bust down the wall of steel Cole has wrapped around his heart, but in prying that particular door open, will he just end up sending the man running for the hills?
