Study in Color: An enemies to lovers romance

A state trooper searching for her sister.

A prosecutor holding back answers.

A hunt for a lustful killer that proves the world isn't so black and white.

Rowan Wells doesn’t believe her sister is dead. She’ll do anything get answers, but when a body soaked in bleach and strangled with razor wire turns up in an abandoned building, she must face a terrifying truth: her sister’s abductor is back. Even worse, as the hot one-night stand meant to ease her grief turns up at the crime scene, Rowan realizes her personal life just compromised the investigation.

US Attorney Faust Hardwin didn’t meet Rowan by coincidence. Her tenacity to solve crimes hides a vulnerability that has shattered his defenses, but now Seattle has a new serial killer. One tied to Rowan. He can’t let his feelings for the guarded trooper hinder a conviction. But as they close in on answers and draw closer together, they’re caught in a twisted game of cat and mouse.

To survive, Rowan and Faust will have to contend with truths neither of them want to face: lust never lasts. And everyone is lying.
