Tracking Hearts

Freedom requires financial security; love requires risking it all.

Sabrina’s goal in life was simple: Break free. Free from the Nebraska trailer park where she grew up; free from the addictions that killed her dad; and free from the minimum wage labor that wreck her mom’s body. She’s finally done that when a tree crashes into her life, a tornado takes out her hometown, and her best friend goes missing. Sabrina knows a single choice can save everyone she loves, but it requires giving up everything she’s worked for.
Freddy’s life is a painful façade. He’s the family joker whose mother still does his laundry, but it’s easier to go along and get along than fight the role he plays. His smile puts strangers at ease, and his life is peaceful contentment. But none of it is real. Only his best friend, Sabrina, knows how invisible Freddy feels. She sees his real laugh and gets his dark sarcasm, which is exactly why he can never pursue his growing feelings for her. He learned, long ago, how devastating rejection can be.
When TI’s adversaries try to use Freddy for his knowledge and connections, his façade is blown to smithereens. His only hope is the woman who refuses to cross the boundaries of their friendship. Is saving Freddy worth giving up everything Sabrina’s fought to achieve?

This friends-to-lovers, forced proximity, romantic suspense novel features two gamers with shared feelings. She’s a strong female who is his only hope for rescue when he gets kidnapped. With plenty of steam, no cheating, and an HEA for the couple, it continues the overarching conflict from books 1 & 2 of Taylor Industries. The books are best read in order.
