Reading this classic romantic suspense feels like stepping into the humid, pressure-cooker atmosphere of a Southern small town where everyone knows your secrets. The narrative moves at a brisk, urgent clip, balancing the procedural tension of a murder investigation with the intense, simmering heat of a rekindled childhood crush. It is a story built on the delicious friction between professional duty and undeniable desire, wrapped in the comforting, familiar rhythms of classic category romance. The prose is direct and emotionally charged, keeping the focus squarely on the characters' internal conflicts and their magnetic pull toward one another. It will thoroughly delight fans of military heroes, capable heroines, and the swoony, high-stakes drama of clearing a misunderstood man's name.

About the book

SHOULD SHE BELIEVE HER HEART...

"For Lucy Tait, no one personified the word hero as much as Blue McCoy. As a child, he was her self-appointed rescuer, and as a teenager, he was the boy who hot away. Now he was back. But he was also a suspect in an unthinkable crime... and Lucy was the investigating officer."

"All evidence pointed to Blue McCoy as the prime suspect, and everyone in town thought he was guilty. So, why was Lucy so convinced of his innocence? Was she swayed by the facts... or blinded by love?

TALL, DARK & DANGEROUS: They're who you call to get you out of a tight spot -- or into one!
