Burden — Annmarie McKenna

There's more than one way to guard a body.

In the year since his car flew off a cliff, Detective Brennan McGuire has struggled to relearn the simplest tasks -- like speaking without a stutter -- and even more with trying to fill the gaping holes in his memory.

But when his daily visit to a local coffee shop turns into a melee of flying bullets, Brennan's instincts take control.

So much for Keegan Monroe's first day off after a long undercover assignment. One minute he's relaxing over coffee, the next his cheek is kissing concrete. Question is, is the gorgeous man on top of him his savior, or the one who took a potshot at his head?

As Keegan shepherds the too-quiet, too-skinny Brennan through the investigation, attraction flares into nights of white-hot passion. But with each scorching encounter, more and more of Brennan's memories shake loose…and it becomes clear someone doesn't want him putting those pieces together.

With Keegan's oath to protect and serve putting him squarely in the crosshairs of a murderer, now the question is, who is protecting whom?

Warning: This book contains a good amount of stuttering, forgetting, remembering, danger, hot man love (cop style), and hordes of cuddly kittens.
