Hallowed Ground

Romance Writers of America Vivian Award Recipient; Finalist and Winner of the Daphne du Maurier Award for Excellence in Mystery/Suspense  

Justice is cold comfort.

Private Investigator Ellie Broussard has only one purpose: to find and destroy the monster who stole her child. Pulling a drowning boy from the Louisiana bayou wasn't part of that plan. Neither was coming face-to-face with his father, Sean McDougal. Charismatic, relentless, and impossible to ignore, the Irishman is a complication Ellie can't afford.

Sean knows loss all too well. A widower, his world begins and ends with the son he'd die to protect. But the woman who saved his boy is fierce, haunted, undeniably compelling—and thanks to fate, his reluctant new partner in the recovery of a stolen art cache.

Forced into an unwilling alliance to track the missing cache, Ellie and Sean begin to uncover secrets that refuse to stay buried. As trust takes root and desire catches flame, they're pulled into a far deadlier hunt—one where the rules are written in blood and a young girl's life hangs in the balance.

Because the killer Ellie's been chasing is closer than ever…and preparing to strike again.

"The feels. While Hope Anika's novels might be characterized as romantic suspense, they are deeper than many in the genre and stick with you. I like to ensure that I'm in the right mindset for an emotional wrenching and that I have minimal outside interruptions so I can thoroughly indulge myself. These characters are people that I will be revisiting in coming weeks during odd thoughts or quiet moments so I want to embrace my time with them."
