Defended by a Hero

**A tenacious reporter chasing a serial killer clashes with the police detective keeping her from her answers. **

Driven to recover the fragmented memories of her past, reporter Jordan Munro pursues a lead tying her own abduction to that of a local teenager. But getting close to the latest victim means going through his older brother— Detective Lee Carmichael—her ex-lover.

When his kid brother is rescued from the clutches of a serial killer, Lee shields him from the relentless investigation that follows. Wrestling with guilt over past mistakes, Lee fights his desire for Jordan, to preserve his brother’s fragile recovery.

When Jordan asks to question his brother, Lee’s response is immediate and emphatic— Hell, no!

Jordan is determined to uncover the truth. Lee is just as determined to safeguard his brother. But as each new horrific recollection is revealed, Jordan and Lee’s frantic race to capture a twisted killer grows even more dangerous.

**Can Jordan and Lee get their second chance while staying one step ahead of danger? Or will the truth–and the killer–drive them apart for good? **
