Synopsis (Goodreads):
It should have been easy. Stay away from her boss’ hot brother.

Museum curator Haven McKinney has sworn off men. All of them. Totally. She’s recently escaped a bad ex and started a new life for herself in San Francisco. She loves her job at the Hutton Museum, likes her new boss, and has made best friends with his feisty sister. Haven’s also desperately trying not to notice their brother: hotshot investigator Rhys Norcross. And she’s really trying not to notice his muscular body, sexy tattoos, and charming smile.

Nope, Rhys is off limits.

Investigator Rhys Norcross is good at finding his targets. After leaving an elite military team, he thrives on his job at his brother’s security firm, Norcross Security. He’s had his eye on smart, sexy Haven for a while, but the pretty curator with her eyes full of secrets is proving far harder to chase down than he anticipated.

Luckily, Rhys never, ever gives up.

When thieves target the museum and steal a multi-million-dollar painting in a daring theft, Haven finds herself right in the middle of a deadly situation. With the painting gone and Haven in danger, Rhys vows to do whatever it takes to keep her safe, and Haven finds herself risking the one thing she was trying so hard to protect—her heart.
Thoughts on The Investigator: Getting a new Anna Hackett series is just...just...I don't know how to put it. It's glorious. You just KNOW all those strong, mysterious characters are going to be paired up with someone who complements them perfectly. Bonus, you get to meet those strong, mysterious characters for the first time and go a little crazy wondering when they're going to get THEIR book. BLISS!

This time around, we have Rhys and Haven. Haven's still working on finding her feet after her last relationship went south and Rhys is waaaaaay too tempting for her. So she goes out of her way to avoid/ignore him. Which works to a point, but when she's put in danger during a robbery at the museum, she has a very difficult time ignoring the guy when he steps in to keep her safe. A VERY difficult time.

On Rhys's end, he's had his eye on Haven for a while, but her ability to slip away whenever he gets close has clued him in that she needs time. When she gets hurt during the robbery, all his protective instincts go into high gear and he does what he needs to do. Which involves some serious bodyguarding. Yessssss.

A few road bumps, a kidnapping or two, a few unscrupulous bad guys, more than a few steamy kisses, and a group of determined men and women who are hyper focused on getting the job done and keeping their people safe. Norcross! YES!
