Release Date: March 17, 2026
Genre: Romance/Mystery/Suspense
#1 New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown delivers a new signature sexy suspense about a detective seeking justice for his murdered wife with the help of a psychotherapist … while fighting an undeniable attraction to her.
Two years ago, Detective Mitch Haskell lost his wife to a vicious act of retribution, and has since attributed her murder to two men: Roland Malone and the unidentified mastermind of the crime known only as Oz. Malone, a ruthless executioner and drug dealer who fronts as a restaurant owner, neutralizes so cleanly that he doesn’t leave a trace. And he performs his handiwork at the biddings of Oz, the faceless kingpin of a drug trafficking operation whose name alone evokes terror.
Obsessively vowing to avenge his late wife’s murder, Mitch has been on a downward spiral, jeopardizing his closest relationships and drinking excessively to numb his pain. After going one step too far, Detective John Bowie, his former best friend and now his boss, has forced Mitch to get therapy to sort himself out.
Dr. Dylan Reede is immediately empathetic to the pain she senses beneath Mitch’s cavalier attitude and wisecracking. She’s determined to make the most of his mandated sessions. But from the moment Mitch breezes into her office, Dylan finds it a struggle to maintain the professional and personal boundaries that keep her own tragic past at a safe distance.
As Mitch begins to close in on Oz and Malone’s operation, they’re prepared to stop him by any means necessary. And when it’s revealed that Dylan might hold the key to bringing them to justice, Mitch and Dylan’s irresistible attraction to each other may not only compromise both of them professionally, but place them in Oz’s bullseye.

Mitch is a man on a mission, he knows the facts pertaining to his wife's death are not accurate and he is going to do whatever it takes to prove their wrong. It's a mission he refuses to fail at, a mission that is wickedly entertaining!!
Bloodlust had me on the edge of my seat and flying through the pages as fast as I could turn them. It was one of those reads that grabs ahold of you and does not let go until long after the last page finds you. I read Bloodmoon and absolutely loved it, so as soon as I saw this one was available to preview I knew and I had to read it! It was a fast paced thrill ride I won't soon forget!! Highly recommend you take a chance on this one, Ms. Brown has created pure literary gold here!
