After the murder of a teenage girl, a mysterious man in a black leather jacket was seen lurking near the crime scene. Investigative reporter Tessa Novak has him in her sights as the culprit…

That man was Julian Darcangelo—an undercover FBI agent working with the Denver police. He’s closing in on the trail of a human trafficker and killer. Tessa’s accusations could blow his cover—and he wants her off the investigation.

But just as Tessa has made Julian a target of interest, she is now a target—of the killer. And as they are forced to trust each other, their physical attraction escalates as intensely as the threat from a ruthless murderer who wants to see both of them dead…

The sequel to Extreme Exposure, Hard Evidence features Reece Sheridan and Kara McMillan, as well as the rest of the Denver Independent’s Investigative Team.

“Hard Evidence is a page-turner, a pulse-pounding thriller. The characters are so real, the story so vivid, you know Ms. Clare must have a long and experienced history of investigative reporting. And it shows in a majestic way. One could almost think Hard Evidence to be a prize-winning documentary with the details and flow of the story, the impact of the victims, the intense drama, the knowledge that this really happens in today’s society and we feel it unfolding as each new page is turned.”

Romance Junkies
“Hard Evidence is an enthralling combination of action, suspense and romance. Ms. Clare had me burning the midnight oil because I refused to put this book down until the final page. From the horrifying opening scene, my emotions were engaged and my heart was aching. Tessa is a wonderful heroine with a strength and courage that few people could hope to match. Her fierce championing of an exploited group of people had me cheering her on from the sidelines. The secretive Julian packs a punch that no reader can ignore. Dark and brooding, fierce and protective, he had my devotion from his first step onto the page. And I can readily say that the heat generated by these two could warm Denver in winter.”
