Just Love Me

by Laura Marie Henion



      This romantic suspense takes place in Hawaii. Christen Mathews is still in mourning two years after her Uncle Victor’s death. Victor, a retired police officer, was killed during a robbery in a convenience store. Christen tends to keep her distance from police officers after a disastrous relationship with a cop that ended in violence. She doesn't stay completely away from them though, as her Uncle’s best friend, Pops, also a retired officer, looks after her. In addition, her roommate, Liz, has begun dating Dan, also a cop. Christen tries to throw herself into her job at an advertising firm, landing a rather large deal with a notorious local figure. Will her job lead to trouble? Will her cop friends be able to save her?

Dan and his commanding officer, Keono Kuai, begin investigating a series of murders of young women. Their search for the killer leads them close to home, and eventually puts Christen in serious danger. Keono is smitten with Christen but can she resist his charms for long? Can she stay true to her own idea that she'll never again get involved with a cop?

Besides taking place against a wonderful tropical backdrop, the story focuses on strong, successful women living their lives. With a little romance thrown in and a serial killer on the loose, this story makes for a suspenseful and appealing read.
