Linger: Book Three: Last (East Aurora Linger #3)

In the saga finale, we follow the story of Annabella Merlino and FBI Special Agent Cooper Prescott. Cooper is the lead agent in what has been dubbed the Baum/Clark case, involving arson and attempted murder. When Cooper tells Annabella he’s counting the hours, that he can’t wait to meet her in person, she assumes he considers her a murder suspect.

As their relationship progresses, will Annabella find a way to trust that Cooper really loves her, or are her instincts correct—that his interest in her is just to aid in solving his case? Cooper Prescott was drawn to Annabella the first time he saw her photo in the case file. How could someone that beautiful be an attempted murderer?

Smitten for the first time in his life, Cooper pursues Annabella, but will he allow himself to fall in love with her, or will the secret pain he carries be too much for the two to overcome?
