Detective Mitch Gates is sworn to protect the one woman he can’t have.
Mitch – When my best friend and brother in blue was killed in the line of duty, I swore an oath to protect the woman he meant to marry. Stella. She was never mine, but I’ve loved her since the day I met her. Now she’s back. Targeted by a dangerous crime syndicate, I have to keep her close to keep her safe. Ten years haven’t dulled the passion I feel for her or my guilt at knowing how badly I still want to act on it.
Now her life is on the line.
Stella – Mitch made me feel whole again after everything fell apart. He was also the only man I knew I couldn’t want. His code of honor and my fear of losing him too made us turn away from the growing heat between us. I thought time would heal old wounds. I was so wrong. I never wanted to need Mitch again, but I have no choice. Only he can help me stop the monster who stole my identity and framed me for a crime I didn’t commit. But fighting back just might bring me into the arms of the one man I’ve tried so hard to forget.
Author’s Note: Each book in the Tortured Heroes series is a full length, standalone romantic suspense novel They can be read in any order and DO NOT contain cliffhangers. They DO contain dark themes and elements.
My Review:
Mitchell "Mitch" Gates is a Northpointe police officer in the computer division. Mitch is good at his job and he's built the department from the ground up. When a blast from his past enters his life again, Mitch is set on a roller coaster ride he'll never forget.
Stella Terry will always be remembered as Brian Macavoy's Girl, even ten years later. Stella has a problem that she's hoping Mitch can help her with. Stella thought that moving back to Northpointe wouldn't cause much emotional upheaval, but that certainly isn't the case at all. Stella's troubles seem to be increasing exponentially.
Mitch knows he should stay away from Stella, but his long buried feelings prove otherwise. Can either Mitch or Stella move forward from the past? Can Stella's problems be fixed? Will Mitch or Stella admit their feelings for one another? Your answers await you in Heat.

The Tortured Heroes Series is really hitting all the right notes with me. I love a good cop read! The hint of romance doesn't detract from the overall story presented. The characters and story are raw, honest, real, gritty, compelling, and fever pitched. Ms. Blue knows how to get the reader to respond to what's happening on the page whether it be good or bad. I’m looking forward to my next adventure in this series.
