When Detective Paul Baxter arrives at the hospital to question an attack victim, he learns small details about Ms. Heather Gilpatrick even though she doesn’t seem to want to cooperate. It doesn’t take Paul long to realize Heather isn’t just a victim of physical abuse at the hands of a stranger, but a victim of emotional and physical abuse at the hands of a Master.

Heather Gilpatrick seeks to find a submissive relationship with a dominant Master like the one she had years ago with her husband. Moving to the United States, Heather had hoped she would find someone to love her like her Davies did. Unfortunately, Heather hasn’t had any lucky and has decided she is no longer interested in living this lifestyle.

Healing Heather continues the Incognito series only with one slight alteration; this is the first story that does not include a triad relationship. Heather has built a wall around herself and with each piece Paul breaks down she is quickly trying to build it back up. Luckily, Paul has an amazing sense of patience, tenderness, and understanding to him. The chemistry between them was almost instantaneous but laced with compassion and tenderness as much as it is erotic. Added to this story of healing someone’s heart by giving them yours is suspense and danger in the form of a Master set upon revenge, regardless of the means he must take to get it. Madison Layle and Anna Leigh Keaton continue to pen a series readers will love to lose themselves in. Even though this isn’t my favorite story of the series, it is one this reader thoroughly enjoyed and will definitely be adding to her “keeper” stack. 5 Angels!
