Synopsis
A new killer has
descended on Harbour Bay, and he’s already killed five women…
Bestselling author Megan Bailey is devastated when her young cousin Stacey goes missing. She’s been watching the news and knows what this might mean. Stacey could be the newest victim of Harbour Bay’s newest serial killer. Megan is determined to do something, and enlists the help of her friend, the superintendent of police, Amelia Donovan.
Amelia has her best detective on the case…Dean Matthews.
Dean doesn’t believe in love. It makes men weak and vulnerable, and as a retired soldier, he’s experienced enough heartache to last several lifetimes. He also has difficulty dealing with emotional women. So when he shows up to interview Megan at the request of his boss, he isn’t exactly looking forward to it. Except Megan isn’t what he expected.
Megan is intelligent, witty, and not to mention, beautiful. Dean tries to maintain a professional distance, but with a killer on the loose, he breaks all his rules and gets involved. He offers Megan comfort and promises he might not be able to keep.
The body count continues to rise and Dean’s leads are empty as ever…
When Megan disappears too, Dean knows his time to solve this case is up. He must unravel the twisted web of clues the killer has left behind or risk the one woman who might finally teach him to love again.

Excerpt
A pair of
startling green eyes caught his and Dean felt like he’d been kicked in the gut.
His heart thumped heavily in his chest as little pin-pricks of awareness washed
over him and he found he had trouble breathing. His muscles tensed even as his
body hardened and began to throb painfully. He bit back a curse. He’d never had
such a reaction to a woman before in his life.
Her gaze flicked
between him and Nick as he brought up his I.D. and made the introductions. The
woman nodded and stepped back, allowing them to enter. She closed the door
firmly and turned to face them, her expression fraught with worry.
“I know who you
are. I just got off the phone with Amelia. She told me you’d be coming,” she said,
twisting her fingers together anxiously. When she caught him watching, she
stuffed her hands into her snug jeans. “I’m Megan Bailey.”
He gave her a
slow onceover, unable to help himself. He was curious about this woman and the
overwhelming desire he had for her. The entire world seemed to melt away until
all that was left was her.
She was
beautiful in an understated way with a honey complexion and a small dusting of
freckles on the bridge of her nose. Rich mahogany hair had been pulled back
into a messy ponytail. She wasn’t overly tall, the top of her head only
reaching his shoulders, but she was nicely filled out with curves in all the
right places, her breasts high and full beneath her shirt, which clung to her
like a second skin revealing her tucked in waist and the flare of her hips. He
swallowed hard, his mouth suddenly dry.
As if sensing
his perusal, Megan glanced over at him and his knees weakened. Her eyes—those
gorgeous emerald pools—pulled at him, so full of torment that his heart ached.
Shit, this was crazy and so unlike him.
She blinked and
he heard her sharp exhale, her mouth parted, and she looked so irresistible
that he was sorely tempted to cross the short distance between them and find
out if she tasted as good as she looked. He was at a loss, unable to pull away
as she continued to stare at him. Was she feeling as out of control as him?
He forced
himself back on track. He was here to work a case, not look for his next bed
partner, and while Megan was quite delectable, she would hardly do. She wasn’t
the type of woman a man fooled around with unless he had forever in his mind,
and Dean Matthews didn’t do forever. No matter what his body was telling him.
He certainly
wasn’t sex-starved, although it had been a while since he had hit the sheets
with a woman. The case was taking up all his time, and he couldn’t think of
anything else even when he had a rare moment alone to sleep. It was
disconcerting and he wasn’t sure he liked it, bringing about feelings he’d long
ago rejected.
