Semi-Sane. Harper Hall Investigations, #5

No one knows crazy quite like Dr. Violet Marchand... As the preeminent supernatural psychologist in Whispering Hope, staying calm and collected in the face of crazy is vital. So, when she starts receiving death threats, Violet isn't rattled. But when her new bodyguard turns out to be the man who betrayed her-the only man who ever came close to breaching the carefully constructed walls around her heart.well, trusting him again might be too crazy, even for a pro like Violet.
Nikolai Aleyev has a lifetime of sins to atone for-not the least of which is betraying Violet's trust. He understands why she wants nothing more to do with him. It doesn't matter that he's broken and only semi-sane without her. But when her life is in danger, Nikolai knows he can't stay away. Protecting her? That'll be easy for a dhampyre like him. Keeping his hands off her and ignoring their chemistry? That might be more than he can manage.
When bullets-and sparks-start flying, Nikolai will risk everything to save Violet-his freedom, his heart, his life. Because sometimes, the line between crazy and happily ever after is razor thin, and the reward is always worth crossing it. Semi-Sane can be read as a standalone but works best if read as part of the Harper Hall Investigations series. This book is not intended for anyone who doesn't enjoy smart, kick-ass heroines and the grumpy, protective heroes that love them.
Also not intended for anyone who doesn't appreciate a plethora of nerdy pop culture references and casual cussing. For the rest of you: happy reading!
