The Marshal
Adrienne Giordano
His painful past is their present dangerThe last thing U.S. Marshal Brent Thompson needs is distraction from his work. But distraction–in the form of a sexy Chicago investigator–is exactly what he gets. Jenna Hayward is as alluring as she is determined, driven to help aprehend the murderer who killed Brent's mother twenty-three years ago. With a shared mission–and a steadily rising attraction that jeopardizes Brent's resolve to stay unattached–the pair must work together to get answers…before the murderer makes them his next victims.

The last thing US Marshal Brent Thompson needs is distraction from his work. But distraction—in the form of a sexy Chicago investigator—is exactly what he gets.

Looking at her had become an exercise in torture. Send her in.
He wanted her. Plain and simple. Whether that want would go away after a few hours of fun—as usually happened—he couldn’t be sure. This wanting, the one keeping him up at night, felt different. Rooted. Like it wouldn’t die with fast, primal sex.
What he didn’t need was a woman getting inside his head and staying there. His adult existence had consisted of the hunt to find his mother’s killer. It was, in fact, all he knew—emotionally speaking. He had no room for anything else. No room. Zero.
When he found the killer, maybe then. Now? No way. He’d blow off his own head trying to juggle a relationship with his mom’s case.
But Jenna was looking at him with those amazing blue eyes and that punch to the chest ripped his air away.
Hell with it.
