Police Chief Autumn Long is fighting to keep her job in the quiet Alaska town of Shadow Gap when an unexpected string of criminal activity leaves her with a wounded officer, unexplained murders, and even an attack on her own father. Despite her mistrust of outsiders, she turns to Grier Brenner, a newcomer who seems to have the skills and training Autumn needs to face this threat to her community.
Grier is in Alaska for the same reason so many others are–to disappear–when Chief Long enlists his help. He emerges from the shadows and proves his mettle, but his presence in her life could be a deadly trap for them both. If his secret is exposed, all will be lost. And he’s not sure even Autumn could save him.
As the stakes rise and the dangers increase, Autumn and Grier must rely on each other to extinguish the deadly threats.

Summary
Cold Light of Day by Elizabeth Goddard is a romantic suspense. She created a satisfying balance of character development and action. She dropped bread crumbs for us to learn about Grier’s past. I was smitten with Grier from the very beginning. My favorite part of the book was how they were unexpectedly drawn to each other and how their feelings were developing. He was the hero.
Autumn was also a great character. She had her own family drama but I didn’t feel it defined her. Her work drama felt realistic and you were frustrated on her behalf.
I didn’t realize this was book one in Goddard’s new series Missing in Alaska. I am looking forward to the new series. This is my favorite book by Goddard.
Sexual content – Goddard was excellent at developing a special relationship between Grier and Autumn without physical scenes.
Violence – near drownings, shootings,
I received this book from Netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review.
