Trust by Kathy Lockheart is now live!
He’s a convicted killer.
I’m his nurse.
And he saw my bruises.
Now he keeps getting hurt on purpose,
just to see that I’m safe.
As a prison nurse, I keep my heart locked away tighter than the men I treat.
No gray areas.
No second chances.
Especially not after escaping my abusive ex.
Then Knox Blackwood, the most dangerous man in the prison, winds up in my infirmary.
Whatever he did to get locked up remains the prison’s darkest secret.
He should terrify me.
Instead, he sees what no one else does.
The scars.
The flinch when a door slams.
The fear I can’t bury.
“Who hurt you?” he growls.
When I don’t answer, Knox starts showing up in my infirmary every day.
New wounds.
Suspicious injuries.
Getting hurt on purpose,
just for five minutes with me.
Just to make sure I’m safe.
I tell myself I can’t fall for an inmate.
I won’t.
Especially not one who’s now harboring a violent vendetta against my ex.
But every stolen touch feels like salvation.
And every whispered promise paves the road to our future.
Knox is one parole hearing from freedom.
If we stay careful, maybe he’ll get out.
Reunite with his daughter.
And we’ll have a life beyond these walls.
All I have to do
is keep Knox from killing the man who hurt me.
That’s the plan.
Until my violent ex steps into the prison
as Knox’s new guard…

MY REVIEW
Knox has been just surviving in prison, his heart has been shut off, and he's known as the most dangerous inmate inside. Then he meets the newest nurse in the infirmary, and her obvious fear and the signs of abuse, get to him, raise his protective instincts. Now he's suddenly feeling again, and his heart has come alive. But when her ex shows up at the prison, it all comes to a head, and Knox and Harper are fighting for their lives and their love.
Like any smart woman, Harper takes one look at Knox, all his tattoos and muscles, and instantly thinks he's as dangerous as his reputation suggests. But when he starts coming to the infirmary, looking more and more hurt, just so he can spend time with her and protect her, she sees the beautiful person inside him. Now they're developing real feelings, and wondering how they can possibly make a relationship work between a prisoner and a prison nurse. But that's not their biggest obstacle, because when her horrible ex shows up at the prison as a guard, everything starts looking a whole lot worse.
I love this series, all of this found family falling in love, but Knox and Harper are my favorite couple, by far. I knew from the first time Knox was mentioned that his story was going to be a heartbreaker, and damn is it. His backstory, why he was in prison, and his current life as an inmate, got me right in the heart. I'm not even ashamed to admit I shed more than a few tears as Knox and his daughter healed and reunited, and Harper and Knox finally got out from under her ex's thumb. Then I cheered as they fell in love, and Knox's life went full circle and he was reunited with his found family and looked forward to spending the rest of his life with them, with Harper and his daughter by his side.
