He doesn't want to like her, much less trust her. But against his better instincts, he finds himself drawn to her.
And her to him. Jordan Price would like this all to go away. She insists she's innocent of her husband's death, even when uncovered information begins to suggest otherwise. The last thing she wants is an investigation but once her brother-in-law contacts the Powell agency, it's best if she goes along. It doesn't help that she is attracted to the very man who is looking to nail her for murder.
Beverly Barton keeps the reader guessing to the end, and not only guessing but changing the most likely suspect. Plot twists and red herrings come with rapid fire, all as the underlying romantic tension between Jordan and Rick escalates.
A fun, meaty romantic suspense, with loads of potential suspects and a plot that thickens when they too begin to disappear. Then, there's the subplot of Griffin Powell and his unusual friends, that makes you wish the next book with a Griffin Agency thread were on shelves now.
COLD HEARTED is a hot-blooded and warm-hearted read.
Book Summary
Hired by the Powell Agency to investigate Senator Dan Price’s death, Rick Carson can see at once why people would believe his widow, Jordan Price, incapable of cold-blooded murder. Slender, pale, and elegant, she stands by her late husband’s graveside exuding sweet vulnerability.
The closer Rick gets to the chilling truth, the more dangerous the game of cat-and mouse becomes. The targets are changing, and suddenly, nothing and no one is safe. If Jordan is as innocent as she claims, Rick may have placed her in a killer’s crosshairs. And if she’s guilty, he’ll never live to regret it…
