Free to Love by Cabe Sparrow

Two lives scarred by tragedy. Two hearts yearning for a connection, warmth… and perhaps even love?

Natalie Watson is a tough detective who lives her life by the law. After the loss of her parents to addiction, she was left to care for her brothers. Hardened by a career of tracking down and catching Portland’s worst criminals, she ran her team like a well-oiled machine…except for Turner.

Eric Turner, her criminal behavior advisor, has his own unorthodox style of solving cases. Well-dressed and broad-framed, with penetrating blue eyes, Turner has a tortured past of his own. While he works with the police to solve cases, he is tracking down the monster who murdered his family.

When he began his quest to find the killer, he never imagined he would be able to feel anything even close to love ever again. After all, his family was destroyed because of him…how could he ever be allowed to feel the warmth of a strong, beautiful woman like detective Natalie Watson?

Driven by dormant emotions, the pair find themselves learning to heal their deep wounds with gentle and light-hearted companionship. Perhaps there is hope for redemption after all…
