FEAR. SHE UNDERSTANDS FEAR. Loss has made it as much a part of her as living and breathing. But that doesn't mean Dr. Julia Bellows needs Dr. Malachi Brockman being an overprotective Galahad. Interfering in everything she does. She can take care of herself just fine. SHE DOESN'T NEED A KEEPER. Dr. Malachi Brockman is determined to keep an eye on the widowed medical examiner assigned to his unit in the PAVAD division of the FBI. ules gets under his skin and makes him care just too much. SHE'S THE NEXT TARGET. When she becomes a pawn in a deadly game between Malachi and a killer, Malachi will do whatever it takes to keep her safe—before she becomes the next victim. The PAVAD: FBI Romantic Suspense series contains scenes of violence, adventure, occasional dark criminal behavior, moderate cursing—especially by villains, a few mild-to-moderate love scenes, and references to subject matter that may distress some readers. The Masterson County books contain about the same level of descriptive content as a typical crime drama on network television—but good always wins out in the end.
