Seven years ago, Hope Harper was a star defense attorney with a great life and a beautiful family—until she got the wrong defendant released, and he turned around and viciously slaughtered her husband and child. Since then, the only thing Hope cares about is locking bad guys behind bars where they can’t hurt anyone else. When the killer escapes from a maximum security prison during a winter storm, Hope refuses to run and hide.
The FBI’s Hostage Rescue Team is called in to protect the handful of public figures the notorious serial killer threatened. Operator Aaron Nash draws the short straw—he’ll be heading up Assistant District Attorney Hope Harper’s close protection detail.
Much to Aaron’s frustration, the cool blonde refuses to go into protective custody. As the hours and days wear on, Aaron and Hope manage a fragile truce. He begins to understand and admire the tenacious prosecutor, and the two of them begin to work together.
As the escaped serial killer’s rampage spins on, Hope knows it’s just a matter of time until he comes for her. Except something’s changed. For the first time since losing her family, she has something to live for. But is history doomed to repeat itself?
Cold Fury is the fourth book in the Cold Justice - Most Wanted series. This one is Aaron and Hope's story. The book works very well as a stand alone book. Characters from previous books show up here, but they only enhance to story. Seven years before, her husband and daughter were brutally murdered after she got the wrong person off. Now, the killer has escaped prison and Hope needs to be protected. Aaron is the only person who can do it.
This was a great addition to the series. I loved the chemistry between Hope and Aaron. They both actually bring baggage to the relationship, but that really only made them stronger. I thought Hope's grief over her loss was realistic. The story is fast paced and kept me on my toes. I definitely didn't see that ending coming. I highly recommend this one.
