Themis, the Titan goddess of justice. The purveyor of divine law and order.
The men and women of The Themis Group have a singular cause - to bring justice and closure to those who have lost hope.
But while they are united in mission, they all have their reasons for being with the mysterious private investigation firm that straddles the converging lines of crime scene science, traditional investigation, and mainstream law enforcement. Some do it for the thrill. Some do it for the satisfaction. Some do it because they are compelled.
But each member of the team is looking for something they will never find in the work they have chosen.
The Perfect Hero – Book 1 of The Themis Series
Hired to follow a trail of blood, bodies, and madness, Logan Pressley and the Themis Group are looking for a killer. Not just a killer—The Slayer.
He is not looking for a woman. At 45 years old, he has had enough of humanity, and wants no part of the myth that people call love.
Starting a new life, Maggie Robertson is not looking for a hero. Hell, she’s not even looking for a watered-down version of one. Romance, she has found, is a wasted phenomenon for the young, and the days for being swept off her feet are long past.
Then there was that one-night stand. The night Logan and Maggie lost themselves in each other. In that single night, all the carefully laid rules were broken.

What a fantastic start to a new series with strong characters, memorable secondary characters, plenty of suspense to keep the pages turning. A well crafted story that mixes the suspense of the job with an unexpected love that sweeps you off your feet.
Maggie is looking for a new start. This single mother who has raised a wonderful young man besides all the horrors of their past. Her past has lead her in the direction of this new job, wanting help people, find the bad guys and hopefully those taken before it's too late. She isn't looking for love or relationship, love is meant for the young and impressionable.
Logan has been so focused on work and the business, romance and love has not been on his radar. After everything that went down in his past, lives lost, he doesn't have it in him. When a rare one night stand has his focus more than he wants, he is a little off. When he discovers that one night stand is his brothers new assistant, he just might be willing to put himself out there.
The connection and draw was there for Maggie and Logan from the very beginning. Will their reconnection bring them more than they bargained for or will they draw a line in the sand due to work and obligations? Could it be possible to find true love at this stage of their lives? Will they take the chance?
The author drew me in very quickly with her words. A mixture of seriousness and humor help to keep the pages turning. I love the strong secondary characters that I can't wait for more of. I also love that there are little ties to other books and series she has written. Can't wait to see where we go from here.
*** Advanced copy provided in exchange for an honest review. ***
I was born in Kentucky and raised in Florida, so I am a southerner through and through. Since I was old enough to pick up a book, I have been a voracious reader. I wrote the usual poetry and short stories in high school, and I kept the dream of writing in the back of my heart until opportunity and encouragement helped me to realize that dream.
I live in Tampa with my kids, grandkids, dogs, various other livestock, and way more books than is strictly healthy.
Hot Romance.
Suspense.
Humor & heart.
Grown up stories for grown up people. This is what I write. There's also food, music, dogs, the occasional geek reference, and quite possibly an inappropriate joke. There will likely be dead bodies as well.
My life philosophy is guard your inner peace and read dirty kissing books.
