Taken from Her by Emily Hayes

Three women missing. One fierce police chief. And the free-spirited café owner she can’t stay away from…

When influential lesbian leaders start vanishing in Phoenix Ridge, Police Chief Diana Marten must rely on someone far outside the department — Lavender Larwood, the beloved café owner at the heart of the queer community.
Lavender is warm, unconventional, and disarmingly open. Diana is disciplined, reserved, and laser-focused on the case. Their methods clash — but their chemistry is undeniable.
As the investigation deepens, so does the intensity between them. But the more personal the case becomes, the more dangerous the risks — and the more vulnerable both women become to what’s really at stake.
In a city on edge, where love can be a liability and justice isn’t always enough…
Can Diana protect the woman she’s falling for? Or will love be the next thing to vanish?
