Shelter for Koren - Badge of Honor: Texas Heroes Series Book 14
New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author Susan Stoker delivers an intense romantic thriller that combines heart-pounding suspense with emotional depth in the fourteenth installment of the Badge of Honor: Texas Heroes Series.
The Story
Hudson "Taco" Vines is a firefighter who thought he'd sworn off relationships after discovering his ex was a serial-killing religious zealot. When he meets Koren Garner, his world shifts. Despite her resemblance to his ex, Taco can't ignore their undeniable chemistry. As he gets to know Koren, he discovers she's everything his ex wasn't—supportive, genuine, and drama-free.
Koren has no interest in drama, which makes Taco and his circle of friends seem like a risky choice. Meeting him for the second time at the scene of her own car accident should have been a red flag, but the attraction between them is too strong to resist. As their relationship deepens, an unknown arsonist begins targeting Taco's friends, setting fires that escalate in danger with each incident.
The stakes rise as Koren and Taco navigate their growing feelings while racing against time to identify the culprit before their relationship—and their lives—are consumed by the flames.
