Stone Cold Heart, Volume 13 by Laura Griffin

5.0

Possibly my favorite book in the series so far, and yes I have read them all!!

Sara Lockhart is not just a world class forensic anthropologist, she's a woman with a passion for helping families find closure that was inspired by her father, a Coast Guard man who went on many search & recovery missions. Sara's love life is nowhere near as successful or as impressive as her work credentials. After getting cold feet before her wedding a few years ago she's gotten used to sleeping in an empty bed. That all changes when she meets Det. Nolan Hess.

Nolan is a stand-up guy, Sara tells him so straight to his face, but that doesn't stop him from wanting to get Sara in his bed sooner rather than later. But his first priority, his only focus, has to be finding a missing hiker with deep connections to his home town. With Sara on the case he's sure they'll find answers soon, but what they end up finding instead is Nolan's worst nightmare. A serial killer working in his sleepy hometown.

Nolan and Sara have chemistry from the start, and their shared determination to get families answers and stop a murdering psycho in their own backyard brings them together when Sara's doubts about starting a relationship flare up. In the end, love conquers all, and a killer ends up right where he belongs.
