Cold Justice® - Most Wanted

Secrets and lies collide in this upcoming explosive Romantic Thriller from New York Times bestselling author Toni Anderson. Rowena Smith may be a top-shelf librarian, but solid investigative skills won't keep her safe after her newest research project-tracking down her biological father-leads her to a brutally murdered body. The scene offers up one hope for assistance: the card of FBI Supervisory Special Agent Kurt Montana. Alone and terrified in a foreign country, Rowena places the call. About to board a flight home after a failed mission, Kurt can't ignore the plea in Rowena's voice. She could be the killer or she could be an innocent bystander-either way, he senses she holds information vital to his case. When Kurt's flight takes off without him-only to crash into the African savanna killing everyone onboard-he knows it's no coincidence. Rowena saved his life. On the run from powerful enemies, he and Rowena pose as a couple-never mind that she's much too young for him. As danger escalates and they inch closer to the secret someone is trying desperately to prevent them from revealing, their fake relationship spirals into something far more perilous. And deeply personal. The game gets deadlier with each and every step toward the truth. But there's no turning back and they'll need to rely on their skills and their wits-and each other-if they hope to survive. If you love age-gap romance, high-stakes danger, and alpha heroes with a soft spot for the woman they protect, don't miss this thrilling, action-packed story!

Seven years ago, Hope Harper was a star defense attorney with a great life and a beautiful family-until she got the wrong defendant released, and he turned around and viciously slaughtered her husband and child.

When the killer escapes from a maximum security prison during a winter storm, Hope refuses to run and hide. The FBI's Hostage Rescue Team is called in to protect the handful of public figures the notorious serial killer threatened.

He begins to understand and admire the tenacious prosecutor, and the two of them begin to work together. As the escaped serial killer's rampage spins on, Hope knows it's just a matter of time until he comes for her. Except something's changed. For the first time since losing her family, she has something to live for. But is history doomed to repeat itself?
