false 761865 2 Denver detective Jake McCoy was rehabbing at her cabin in the mountains, trying to reconcile the shooting death of a young boy. Psychologist Nicole Westbrook, an expert in domestic violence, is in those very same mountains, escaping from the horrors of her profession for a brief vacation. Nicole becomes lost when she leaves the well-marked hiking trail in search of hot springs, and she stumbles upon Jake, who is enjoying her own soak in remote springs. They exchange first names only, but after a few hours together, a physical attraction neither can explain, engulfs them, leaving them as lovers, not strangers, when Nicole departs the following day. But when Jake returns to Denver, a murder investigation leads her to Nicole. Both are surprised that they are face to face with the stranger they thought they'd never see again, Nicole tries to remain in the professional closet that she's been hiding in for so long, a place where out cop Jake McCoy does not fit. And Jake, still trying to recover from the shooting that left her injured, does her best to distance herself from Nicole. It is soon evident that a serial killer is targeting Nicole's former patients. Try as they may, they can not deny the physical attraction between them, even if it means compromising the investigation. But after all is said and done, the fact remains that Nicole and Jake live in two different worlds. Despite the physical attraction and the gentle tug of love, both women accept that when their case is over, they will go their separate ways. Jake retreats back to the mountains, and Nicole resumes her practice in earnest, both trying to forget the other . . . and both failing. 747958 28 2 2006 The Killing Room total:28|5:8|4:11|3:8|2:0|1:1| 28 109 42 3 4 0 false false Mon Feb 02 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Jun 15 18:14:22 -0700 2008 Mon Feb 02 07:24:49 -0800 2009 1 more...]]> 1 0 false false Sun Jul 06 03:47:50 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 06 03:47:50 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Tue Aug 28 16:23:57 -0700 2007 Wed Dec 05 02:13:54 -0800 2007 0 0 false false Thu Nov 12 16:27:58 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 12 16:28:00 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Mon Nov 09 13:51:19 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 09 13:51:19 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Sat Oct 31 17:18:27 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 31 17:18:27 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Oct 09 11:04:20 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 09 11:04:24 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jul 17 16:48:03 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 17 16:48:03 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Jun 22 15:11:20 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 22 15:11:20 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sat Jun 20 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 20 19:20:39 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 20 19:21:41 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jun 05 20:25:18 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 05 20:25:18 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Apr 24 08:49:52 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 24 08:49:57 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Apr 22 20:47:09 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 22 20:47:09 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Apr 04 03:30:01 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 04 03:30:01 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sat Mar 28 20:28:29 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 28 20:28:29 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Mar 27 18:31:17 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 27 18:31:17 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu Mar 12 12:38:42 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 12 12:38:42 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Mar 09 13:03:40 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 09 13:03:40 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Mar 08 05:51:50 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 08 05:51:50 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Feb 17 07:34:05 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 17 07:34:05 -0800 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=761865
