The Cold Case Detectives series continues as love and danger light up the Alaskan sky…
Eager to make a fresh start in life, former homicide detective Brycen Cage had thought he’d left Alaska behind for good, hosting a TV crime show. But when he’s recruited back home to investigate a state trooper’s long-unsolved murder, Brycen never expects to be so drawn to the victim’s beautiful widow. An adventurous bush pilot raising her young son alone, Drury Decoteau manages to get past Brycen’s defenses—a no-go for the lone wolf. Yet as he works closely with Drury and falls even harder for her, Brycen must also avoid a killer—who will do anything to keep dirty secrets hidden—and protect the love he’s come to cherish.
“Why did you agree to come here and help me?” Drury asked.
She propped her chin on her hand, elbow on the table. “Was it a sense of duty? You’re from Alaska, but I still don’t understand why you took this case.”
Why did his reason matter? “Duty. Anger. If I could stop all cop killers, I would. But I have to settle for one case at a time.”
What had led him into show business differed from what had driven him from Alaska. That old, haunting darkness threatened to surface. Brycen wouldn’t let it. He’d put that part of his life behind him long ago.
“I don’t want my story told on your show,” she said. “Period. It’s too real and it’s a private matter.”
As her beautiful, striking blue eyes shifted to him in fiery disagreement, shattering glass interrupted.
Brycen stood in an instant and drew his gun from its holster at his hip, hidden by his jacket. Drury sprang off the chair and rushed to her son.
A rock with a piece of paper fastened to it with a rubber band rolled to a stop against the refrigerator.

My Cold Case Detectives series is in full swing. Dark Alley Investigations is growing. For the first time, Kadin Tandy has to recruit detectives. One of those recruits is Brycen Cage, a sexy, hard-core homicide cop and television celebrity who never fails a case, no matter how cold.
Cold Case Recruit is an Alaskan adventure. I find the remote islands and villages romantic and wild, and love writing about places not often traveled. The setting complements my secretive hero and native heroine.
Drury Decoteau isn’t afraid of much. She comes from a line of doers and has what it takes to break through Brycen’s boundaries. These two take DAI to the next level.
Look for the next book in the series—you’re in for a surprise! Kadin’s team of detectives is getting really interesting…
