When Love Hurts

By: Greene, S. J.

Steamy suspense-with a side of emotional baggage...

A widow with a painful past meets a sexy detective amidst the hunt for a serial killer.

Natalie Roberts has been through more pain than one person should have to endure, and it never seems to stop. After surviving a traumatic childhood, toxic relationships, and her most recent loss of a husband, Natalie is not sure what to do with her life. She craves a fresh start, but will a career change decision land her back in danger?

When downtown Portland is hit with a series of murders, Detective Derek Hartmann is painfully reminded that love and loss go hand in hand. But you can't lose something you never had. That's why he has avoided attachments like the plague, focusing on his career and casual encounters instead. His life philosophy seems to work well for him-until he meets Natalie. Will she help ease his pain... or only add to it?
