Detective BD Harte has faced down killers, chased shadows, and put monsters behind bars. But none of it prepared him for Maggie Sullivan. The single mother is smart, stubborn, and too damn alluring for a man who thrives on control. And now, she's his latest assignment.
Maggie's world was already turned upside down when her husband was murdered. But when a brutal escapee with ties to her past sets his sights on her, she's thrust into a deadly game she never signed up for. The only thing standing between her and a madman is BD Harte, a brooding detective with a past as haunted as her own.
Forced into close quarters for nightly stakeouts, Maggie and BD wage war against an unseen enemy while battling an even greater threat-the searing chemistry crackling between them. Every glance, every touch dares them to cross lines neither of them should. But as secrets about her husband's past come to light, Maggie begins to question everything she thought she knew...including the man sworn to protect her.
The danger escalates. The body count rises. And time is running out. The escaped killer isn't just playing cat and mouse. He's setting the stage for a final, deadly act.
In a world where trust is a gamble and love is a risk, BD and Maggie have only one shot at survival. Can they outmaneuver a predator determined to destroy them both? Or will their chance at happiness be lost forever?
