      When a killer strikes a sleepy small town, terror strikes...and passion flares!

      After a teenage girl is murdered, FBI agent Silas Kelly reluctantly returns to the hometown he swore never to visit again. This tragedy bears devastating similarities to the unsolved killing of his younger brother twenty years ago, and Silas is determined to find the link, the culprit, and maybe some peace for himself and his fractured family. But the hardened loner has another problem to tackle in beautiful redhead Quinn Jackson. The ambitious reporter is trailing him for answers about the cold case and the current investigation, and Silas can’t shake her. When the shocking truth is revealed, no one will be the same again.

      “So what’s your agenda for bringing me this intel?” Silas asked.

      “So suspicious.” Quinn tsked but her grin was filled with mischief. “Okay, you got me. I do want something.”

      “Spit it out.”

      “I want you to work with me,” she said. “Give me access to exclusive content so I can break the story, whatever that may be.”

      Back to that argument again. “It goes against my personal values to make deals with press.”

      “C’mon, Silas...you can’t honestly be this rigid.”

      “Is this your idea of driving a hard bargain? I’ve yet to hear why I shouldn’t just run with your lead and leave you out.”

      She stared at him. “Because you have more integrity than that.”

      “You don’t know me.”

      “It’s something I can sense,” Quinn said, and this time she wasn’t joking or playing around.

      This was probably the first time Silas had seen her completely serious. That turn was intensely arousing. It was easy to keep her at arm’s length when he saw her as an irritating kid. But when he saw her as an adult...it changed things.

      * * *

      As a pantser, it’s rare when a story comes to me fully formed and ready to be written, but when it does, the result is simply wonderful.

      That’s what happened with this book. I knew the characters so well. I knew the town, I knew the victim—I even knew the ending.

      Silas is one of those characters that takes on a life of its own, grabbing the muse in a chokehold because it’s so strong, and I was happy to let him drive the bus.

      Conversely, Quinn is my favorite type of heroine—sassy, classy and a little smart-assy—but her growth arc is huge from the beginning of the book to the end.

      I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

      I love hearing from readers. Connect with me on Facebook, Twitter or drop me an email. Or you can also write me a letter at PO BOX 2210, Oakdale, CA 95361.

      Happy reading!
