Books like Heart Breaker by Robert Ferrigno


Val Duran starts as an undercover cop in south Florida, only to witness the murder of his partner at the hands of drug kingpin Junior. In retaliation Val kills two of Junior's men, but the score is far from settled. He quits Florida and heads for Hollywood, where he ends up doing stunt work in B‑movies. His real life turns out to be far more hazardous when he falls for marine biologist Kyle Abbott, who has a sharp, survival‑oriented outlook on nature that disarms his typical protective paranoia. Yet Val remains unaware that Junior has followed him and that Kyle’s family is entangled with a dangerous stepbrother and his girlfriend, who plan to seize her father’s fortune. Val must navigate the threat from Junior and the risk to Kyle’s dysfunctional household without dragging her directly into the danger.
