Everything points to suicide or accidental death…

Her scientist-mother was on the verge of a scientific breakthrough, and Kennedy knows her mother would never end her life, but the detective won’t listen.

And she must prove them wrong.

It takes only one look for both of them to know their feelings for each other haven’t gone away. With so many people counting on her to complete the project, giving in to old feelings is a distraction neither she or Erik can afford, and they both need to keep watch. Especially in the darkest hours of the night, when the killer comes out to play.

"Please don't let him find me. Please. Please. Please."
Jumping off a houseboat into cold, murky water wasn't what underwater crime scene investigator Kennedy Walker had in mind for evening entertainment, but when a burly intruder with a hand gun is involved, it was her one and only option. And then . . . . an unexpected hero arrives on the scene . . . the one man she had been forced to walk away from. . . Erik Byrd.
"Erik was a glutton for punishment. Otherwise why would he be in his truck headed to Kennedy's floating home? So she could rip his heart out again?"
It was a good thing that Erik had followed his instincts, for it only took one look at Kennedy's open door and discarded personal items to put him on high alert. After pulling Kennedy from the water, the two try to determine what just happened and how to move forward safely; something about the recent death of Kennedy's mother isn't adding up, and now it's obvious that Kennedy needs protection until they can figure it all out. Erik just hopes and prays that offering the services of Nighthawk Security won't destroy all his hard work trying to forget the one woman who stole his heart and never returned it.
An ingenious story! The ebbs and flows are full of intriguing and unexpected details, as one might expect from a seasoned writer with an amazing stockpile of characters at her disposal. It's impossible not to cheer on the "baby brother" of the Byrd family, Erik deserves to find his happily-ever-after for the second time . . . . if he can keep Kennedy safe in the process. . . . . . and convince her to stay.
