Torn: A Forensic Romance

by Angela Applewhite

Overview

A Second Chance is Destiny Waiting to Happen.

An unlikely meeting—an unbridled and passionate night—torn apart by duty.

10 years later when fate reunites Lieutenant Colonel Nicholas Wade and gorgeous Forensic Investigator Savanna Jones, her life is complicated with a troubled marriage and a painful secret.

He's hardened by his military career and the tragic deaths of his fellow soldiers.

Their desperate need to catch a killer on the loose throws them together. But Nicholas's dogmatic approach sets Savanna's nerves on edge. And her brilliant, but free-wheeling investigative style disregards his proper regulations.

They need to trust each other, but guilt nourishes the secrets that keep them apart.

About the Author

Torn is Applewhite's debut novel, and the reason she's been trading corporate technology for the fictional pen. Barbadian born, she now lives in Toronto with her husband and daughter, where she relies on The Barefoot Contessa and Jamie Oliver to cure her shortcomings in the kitchen. Her one-woman yoga practice keeps her from slouching over her writing desk.

Editorial Reviews

"TORN is a steamy romance with enough CSI-style mystery to keep the pages from melting. The story is entertaining and engaging until the end, with likeable, fully-human characters and a lively plot.

The chemistry between Nicholas and Savanna is intense from the very beginning, and the love scenes are hot and passionate. The mystery part of the novel is action-packed and full of intriguing twists and turns . . . Savanna’s affectionate but thoroughly non-romantic friendship with her partner Matthew Quinn . . . is particularly well done.

The political and legal aspects of the job are not neglected, but neither are they dwelt upon to the point of dullness.

TORN: A FORENSIC ROMANCE offers exactly what the title promises – an action-filled forensic adventure combined with intense romance – and the result is a delightfully warming diversion for a cozy snow day.
