Silent Awakening

HIS SHIELD AND GUN WERE HERS TO COMMAND

Stalked by a killer after discovering his nearly untraceable chemical weapon, scientist Natalie Patterson collided with one of New York's finest–rugged homicide detective Brady Tomasini. The elegant scientist and the steel-hard cop should never have met. But now their fiery attraction was as undeniable as it was inconvenient.

For the first time, Brady wasn't in control. Surrendering himself to Natalie's soft, smoky eyes wouldn't help him catch the killer. Unless…. The closer they got, the more angry Natalie's stalker became–and the more careless. Was giving in to unexpected passion the best way to flush out the killer…and would Brady's and Natalie's hearts survive the aftermath?
