This is the second book in the Kathleen Turner series. This second book has that cozy murder mystery vibe with a touch of sinister. I read and re-read this book so many times that now I remember everything from the book makes me feel like I just read it yesterday.
So in this book, Bane and Kathleen are dating and going on dinners and doing stuff together. One afternoon they went Christmas tree shopping and someone started shooting at them. Bane gets scared for Kathleen because she is now receiving little letters of threats. Bane calls Kade (his brother) to come and play bodyguard for Kathleen because he is busy fighting this hot shot case of a navy seal.
Long story short, someone was targeting people related to the case which makes Kathleen a super target because she is close to Kirk (Blane Kirk) who is defending a seal. Kade comes to town but things happen and Kathleen gets herself in more trouble than she can handle. She is threatened, kidnapped at gunpoint, and left to die in an abandoned creepy place.

☙ Enemies to Friends
Blane and Kathleen were also going great in the start. Kathleen always doubts herself while being with Bane that she is not good enough and Blane will leave her at some point. Blane keeps secrets from her which also strains their relationship. There is Kandi in the picture too who is Blane's e and she is trying to weasel her way into Blane's life not that Blane encouraging her. I understand Blane too. He loves Kathleen too much to put her in any kind of danger even telling her about the danger of his work puts her in danger.
Overall: ★★★★★| 5 Stars
