Cold Case Identity - Nicole Helm (HI #2193 - Feb 2024)

Series: Hudson Sibling Solutions (Book 2)
 
Unlocking the secrets of her past
Puts their present in danger.
 
Palmer Hudson is considered the bad boy of the family. But he never allows his roving eye to wander in Louisa O'Brien's direction. Because his sister's best friend is off-limits. Then Louisa begs Palmer to secretly investigate her hidden past, and their search triggers a series of attacks. How can Palmer unearth the truth and protect Louisa, while keeping his desire for her under control?

 
Good book. Palmer was surprised when Louisa came to him with an investigation request. She is his little sister's best friend and a woman he has tried to avoid for a long time. He doesn't know when she went from being that pesky friend of Anna's to a beautiful woman but it is playing havoc with his life.
 
Louisa receives some disturbing information, and Palmer is the only person she trusts to keep her secret while they investigate. The hard part is keeping a lid on her crush on him since she was a kid.
 
The suspense of the story kept me turning the pages. Who is the person claiming Louisa is her kidnapped sister? What do her parents know about this? I could feel Louisa's confusion and worry over the truth. When she and Palmer look into her past, it becomes evident that someone doesn't want her to discover the truth. Escalating attacks put Louisa's life in jeopardy. I did not expect the perpetrator to be who it was. The final confrontation was a nail-biter.
 
I enjoyed the development of the relationship between Louisa and Palmer. He has quite the reputation, and it was fun to see people warning them away from each other. Both tried to fight their feelings but love won out.
