The Secrets She Keeps

Powell Barratt was used to success in real estate, business, and law… not romance. Certainly not romance with a man who could give the god Thor a real run for his money. But Detective Gunnar Erickson is right there, in front of her, vowing to keep her safe after she is nearly abducted. He'll do anything to protect her, and she believes him. And Powell has a secret he deserves to know… Gunnar knew what it was like to lose the woman he loved. He'd lived that hell before. Now that he has Powell in his arms, he's not about to let anything hurt her—even if he is in the midst of the biggest case of his career with the TSP. He'll keep her safe by keeping her right next to him where she belongs. But when his enemies realize just how important Powell is, Gunnar has a fight on his hands. One he has to win. Before people close to them both pay the ultimate price... The Secrets She Keeps is a complete, 600+ page romantic suspense novel and is the second in the Finley Creek: Enemies Within tetralogy. The Finley Creek series contains multiple scenes of violence, adventure, dark criminal behavior, some cursing by heroes, heroines and villains, possibly a few mild-to-moderate love scenes, and references to subject matter that may distress some readers, including pregnancy loss, abductions, assaults, stalkings, mass shootings, child abuse and other dark themes. The Finley Creek series of books contain the same depth of content that can be found on a network crime drama series. Bad things happen to good characters, but GOOD always triumphs over EVIL in the end.
