Detective Paul Kincaid is unlucky in love. It's not easy finding someone who can handle the random work hours, stress and unpredictability that comes with being a cop's partner. After another romantic relationship implodes, he's all but given up on finding love. But while investigating a puzzling homicide case, he meets a man unlike anyone he's ever met before. Could he have finally found Mr Right?

After suffering an acquired brain injury in a car accident several years earlier, Jarod Cruikshank's life was changed irrevocably. Left unable to feel emotions or easily recognise them in others, the gifted linguist now works from home as a freelance text translator. Focusing almost obsessively on his work, and with very few friends to distract him, Jarod has adapted to his new, somewhat isolated life.

But when his neighbour is brutally murdered, Jarod is brought face to face with a handsome police detective who has the potential to alter his world forever. The two men will have to work together to unravel the cryptic, macabre clues left by a deranged killer. But can they solve the mystery and unravel their feelings for each other before the killer comes after them?

Hearts Unfrozen is Book 3 of the Men of Melbourne series, but can be read as a standalone novel.
