Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
Forensic anthropologist Maggie Turner happily works as an assistant professor at her local university and lives a quiet life near campus. Until Jackson Lockhart reenters her life. Then a cyclone of emotions erupt as she remembers the tragedy that once tore them apart. She’s often thought of him, but they’d agreed never to see each other again and so far they’d kept their promise. But Jackson has a good reason for breaking his promise. Maggie’s life depends on it.

In an ongoing investigation, Jackson has learned that university officials secretly videoed her classroom in a study on attendance. The recorder was supposed to run only during the class session, but it recorded an entire week, which includes a shocking murder that has now put Maggie’s life in danger. Can Jackson unravel the lies surrounding this incident before the killer unleashes his fury on Maggie?


My Review:
Cold Fury is a Christian romantic suspense. Though a part of a series, this worked as a standalone. Maggie's working on identifying human remains after a wildfire when they come across a murder victim. Jackson's team is working on solving the murder of one of Maggie's students when they discover that Maggie actually saw the murderer. They rush to protect her until they can solve the case, but she insists on working her own case, too.

The suspense was created by constant attacks on Maggie. Jackson and Maggie had a relationship in the past, but Jackson wasn't ready to commit to marriage and a family. Then tragedy struck, both blamed themselves, and they figured there was too much hurt between them to heal the relationship. But things have changed with time, so they explored if there was a possible future together.

There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this suspenseful mystery.
