Description
Heartbreaker by Julie Garwood is the first novel in the Buchanan-Renard series, blending crime investigation with a central romantic storyline. The story begins when a serial killer taunts authorities by revealing the name of his next intended victim: Laurant Madden. Faced with a credible threat, the FBI assigns agent Nick Buchanan to protect her. Laurant is known for her kindness and strong sense of faith, and she struggles to understand why she has become the target of a killer she has never met. As the investigation unfolds, Nick works closely with local law enforcement to uncover the motive behind the threat while keeping Laurant safe. The more time they spend together, however, the more complicated the situation becomes as professional duty gives way to growing personal feelings. Set largely in Louisiana, the novel combines the tension of a serial-killer investigation with the emotional development of a romance between protector and witness.
As the first entry in the Buchanan-Renard series, Heartbreaker introduces readers to the Buchanan family and establishes the mix of suspense, danger and relationship-driven storytelling that continues throughout the series.
