Publisher's Synopsis
There's a serial killer on the loose…
Getting laid up with a broken ankle and placed on leave could not have happened at a worse time for Detective Sydney Shepherd. Enter private investigator Trent Gannon, who believes her current investigation dovetails with his cold case. Despite a complex past, Sydney and Trent agree to shelve their undeniable attraction and team up when there's another victim. As all indications point to Sydney's next-door neighbour as the prime suspect, will Sydney and Trent be the next casualties?
Why is he really back?
Heath Bradford never expressed his attraction to loner Willow Sands back in high school. Now that he's returned to Dead Falls, supposedly to broker a land deal, Willow views him as the enemy. Fiercely protective of the island's ecosystem, she's an obstacle to his development project. But Heath's true purpose for returning is to solve a mystery that's haunted him for years. Then Willow's neighbor is killed, and she becomes the target of a series of attacks. And protecting the woman he still yearns for becomes his only purpose.
