Dakota Meltdown
Elle James
24/7For investigator Brenna Jensen, snowy Riverton, North Dakota, was the ideal home–until it became the target of a serial killer. Not even FBI hotshot Nick Tarver could keep her from trailing the maniac who taunted her, shadowed her every move. Brenna was anything but comfortable with Nick, her bodyguard in black leather. The sexy lawman challenged her wounded heart. But as the snow melted and the body count rose, Nick's arms became her only refuge. For Brenna had uncovered the hit list–and her name was next….
Her heart pounded…
Breath came only in short, shallow gasps as she held the envelope in her hand. The killer had sent another letter. How did he know where she was?
“You all right?”
Brenna jumped and spun around to see Nick mere inches from her. As he reached for the letter, his chest brushed her, and she gasped, stepping back from him and the smell of leather and aftershave.
“Want me to open it?” He came even closer and the air left her lungs, making breath and speech impossible. Not when he was so near, all she had to do was exhale and their bodies would be touching in ways she’d only dreamed.
“No, I can do it.” She lowered her eyes so he couldn’t see how affected she was. Or how afraid she was for the job she had to do.
He pushed a strand of her hair back behind her ear and traced her jaw with a soft fingertip. “You don’t have to be strong all the time, Jensen.”
The urge to lean into him assailed her and she pulled away just in time. “Yes, I do. I’m a cop, Nick. I don’t have time to be scared.” Of killers…or tall, gorgeous FBI agents.

Like the heroine in this story, I was burned severely as a child
and suffered the insecurities of being flawed on the outside.
This book is dedicated to my father and mother, Charles and
Phyllis Hughes, who’ve always loved me unconditionally and treated
me just like my siblings—normal—the best thing they could have
done for me. Without their love and support, I wouldn’t have grown into
the confident woman I am today. A special thanks to my mother- and
father-in-law, Janell and Jerry Jernigan, for giving us a home while we
were in transition and for making it possible for me to continue writing.
Their support helped make this book happen.
