Synopsis (Goodreads):
Lieutenant Seth Buchanan is astonished when the beautiful victim of his homicide investigation turns up—very much alive—at the scene of the murder. Grace Fontaine is keeping secrets, ones that should have killed her, but the notorious heiress refuses to reveal anything. The cool, controlled cop never lets his feelings get in the way of his job, and with a killer at large, Seth can’t afford any distractions. But there’s something irresistible about Grace…and eventually Seth finds it hard to remember there’s any mystery more important to solve than that of Grace herself.Thoughts on Secret Star: The last of the BFFs (and the diamonds) are on tap and...Grace's story is maybe a little complicated. Mostly because everyone thinks she's dead when this all begins. You know, because there's a dead body in her house that matches Grace's description and she's been incognito for a while now.
BUT but but but, it turns out Grace isn't dead. Which kinda blows Seth's mind because he had it in his head that her beauty and bright light had been snuffed out. That said, Seth and Grace's first encounter is a little rough. Not physically or anything, but Seth was surprised to find his murder victim facing him over the barrel of a gun and Grace was surprised to find a cop in her house. Things only got more complicated from there.
It takes time and a dangerous situation or two before Seth and Grace get to the place they need to be. Seth needs to put aside his preconceived notions about Grace and Grace needs to trust the person she's fallen for will have her back. It's a bumpy ride at times, but these two get where they need to be.
On the diamonds front, things get settled there, too. The mastermind behind everything is revealed, the diamonds do their thing (which is more than just look pretty, as it turns out), and things fall into place. An enjoyable, sexy, fast paced series overall!
