A psychologist's stalker catches up to her as she investigates missing women with an FBI agent. I've always loved Rose's respectful, protective alpha heroes and this one's awesome, with his white hair, bi-colored eyes and brilliant mind. She's courageous, kind and equally smart. The romance builds over a few days but it feels like slow burn on paper (as the book goes by hours + minutes), with plenty of chemistry and tension. 

They're a great match, I loved their strong connection, and how he supports and protects her. Not very high in heat, but their sexy moments are steamily sensual. The suspense is exciting but disturbing, with a very twisted villain. Side note, all the women kicked ass! It's a whopper at ≈700 pgs but I really enjoyed the read.
