The Storm

Berry Springs Series, #3

 The Storm
~Author: Amanda McKinney

~Released: December 5th 2017

~Genres: Adult, Romance, Suspense


The snow is dropping in Berry Springs… and so are the bodies...
On a pitch-black wintry night, Detective Dean Walker finds a man in the middle of an icy road, with a bullet between his eyes—a murder that is eerily similar to his father’s, which was never solved. Coincidence? No, Dean doesn’t believe in coincidences. He also doesn’t believe in love at first sight, until he meets the victim’s wife.

Psychologist Heidi Novak is hardly settling into her new mansion in the small, country town of Berry Springs, when she receives a late-night visit by the handsome Dean Walker. Seconds after learning that her husband has been murdered, gunshots explode around her and it becomes apparent that she is the next target.

With a massive winter storm looming, Dean races to find the killer and keep Heidi safe, while facing a long a list of suspects, including Heidi’s arrogant sister-in-law and a local, crusty cowboy. As the evidence mounts, Dean becomes more convinced than ever that his father’s murder is connected to the death of Heidi’s husband.

And he can’t help but think . . . will Heidi be the second love he loses to the ice-cold killer?

“And then one day, you're going to meet one, and the second you see her it’s going to be like a dagger piercing through your heart.”
His father's words echoed his head as he stepped outside into the darkness. His veins pumped with adrenaline—not just from the bullets that had just whizzed past his head, but because of the woman he had blocked from those bullets.
Like a dagger piercing through your heart.
He’d lost all sense of everything when she’d opened the door—forgot why he was standing on her doorstep, forgot his own name.
She’d sent a lightning bolt of emotion through him the moment they locked eyes.
She was, without question, the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen in his life.
He tugged at his collar. Despite the freezing temperatures, he was hot as hell.
A gust of wind swept across the porch as he scanned the yard. The sleet was still coming down, and he feared the roads would be impassable by morning, which wasn’t going to work because he had a shit ton of work to do on this mountain at first light.
Although he was only two hours into his first case as detective, he surprised himself at how easily he had stepped into the role. Like a comfortable old shoe. One dead body and another attempted murder were definitely going to make a hell of a case. But, he was ready. He was never one to run from a fight. He loved challenges; gravitated toward them. The bigger the challenge, the harder he worked and his gut told him that he was going to face his fair share of obstacles over the next few days.
That’s fine, he was ready.
