Hard Beat

Tanner Thomas reports from war zones, and he has built his life around the thrill of it. After a personal loss, he goes back to the field and pours everything into chasing the next big story, because the danger is the one thing that keeps him from dwelling on what he has lost.

Then he is paired with photojournalist Beaux Croslyn, and his focus starts to slip. She is guarded and secretive, and she refuses to talk about her past. Even so, she lets Tanner get close, using the heat between them as a place to hide from questions she does not want to answer.

The trouble is that what Beaux is concealing does not stay buried. As her history closes in, it puts both the relationship and their lives at risk, and Tanner's refusal to let the truth go only pulls them deeper into danger.

Hard Beat is a romance by K. Bromberg, the New York Times bestselling author of Sweet Ache. It follows a man willing to go to the ends of the earth to learn whether what he shared with Beaux was real, or whether it was only a passion set to burn out under pressure.
