Deana Armstrong needs the best
investigator possible to get her nephew out of jail and from
under the murder charge he is now facing. Deana is down to
her last and best choice. Too bad he hates her and her
family. Now Deana has to figure out how to convince Josh to
put the past behind them and get him to agree to work for
her and find out who really did the murders.
Josh Windsor is out of the hero
business as far as he is concerned. He has just had to
leave a well-loved job with the DEA and right now all he
wants is to find a quiet place on the islands. Josh
absolutely wants nothing to do with Deana and her family
problems. He has no interest in investigating a murder that
has already been investigated and has a person behind bars.
But sometimes the hero business is really hard to get out
of.
Deana finally gets her wish and now
Josh is working for her, but he is doing it on his terms –
not hers. When the case brings them closer together than
either had planned both begin to learn just what secrets the
other is hiding. The investigation is getting messy in more
ways than one. Deana had agreed to accept any outcome from
Josh’s investigation when he agreed to do it, a condition
Deana agreed to believing she knew the only possible
outcome. Josh is coming to the end of the road; the facts
are coming together – not only for his investigation but
also between Deana and himself. Just what will the truth
about a night of murder do to their budding relationship?
A red-hot detective and a wealth society figurehead come
together under the Hawaiian nights. Holding Out for a
Hero brings to stubborn people together with one
desire – to find out who killed Deana’s brother and
sister-in-law. Deana learned from the best on how to get
her way by using her money and status. Josh has worked his
way up from a bad childhood to be a DEA hero until the rug
is pulled out from under him. The undercurrents between
Josh and Deana just as strong as any the islands have ever
had. I watched as Josh and Deana fought their attraction
for each other and just knew that their passion would
explode spectacularly at some point. HelenKay Dimon’s
characters are so well constructed that I would not have
been surprised to find them next door. Josh and Deana had
to overcome many roadblocks in order to discover their
future and the double murder was just the beginning of it
all. Holding Out for a Hero is a full-bodied
and tightly written journey that leads to a forever love. |
