The deeper they dig into the past, the closer they come
to a killer.
Crime writer Shayne Reynolds is looking for the next book that’ll get her out of her parents’ basement and on track to rebuilding her life. She’s found it in Robert Anderson, a confessed murderer who’s out on parole. Something’s never added up about that case.
From the moment she sets foot in Dark Water, nothing goes as planned. Anderson’s family wants her to drop the story—especially surviving son Des. A man who ignites sizzling heat even as he stands firmly in her way.
Laboring under his father’s crushing legacy and his grandmother’s iron resolve to get rid of the nosy writer at any cost, Des struggles to save the self-destructive sister who once saved him. There’s something honest and forthright about Shayne, though, that tempts him to help her get to the truth. Even if it means double-crossing his powerful grandmother.
Despite their resolve to keep it strictly business, sexual sparks quickly set fire to tangled emotions. And threads of a fragile bond that someone with a vendetta could use to weave their death shroud…

Excerpt
The sucking slop of footsteps in wet mud rose from the surrounding
black. The hair on the back of her neck bristled, and a chill tickled along her
spine.
Was it Hudson coming back to finish her off? Tic?
What was she doing standing around out here anyway? A woman alone, late
at night, on a deserted country road, during a thunderstorm? The scene had
slasher flick written all over it.
She started for the driver’s side door, but a low moan rose up from the
darkness.
The wind? Had to be. Still, she picked up her pace.
The moan came again, louder this time. Shayne stopped and turned. A
dark, hunched figure staggered toward her.
“Christ.” She gripped the door handle and yanked open the door.
The stooped outline lurched in front of her single headlight, and the
glare illuminated the ugliest Hawaiian shirt she’d ever seen. Relief swamped
her like a tidal wave, turning her muscles soft for the second time in one
night. The feeling, however, was short-lived. He may not have been the
homicidal maniac she’d imagined, but the jerk had scared the life out of her.
And all because he was staggering drunk. Even from this distance, the smell of
beer was nearly overpowering.
As he pitched forward, the light cast a ghostly pallor over his face.
Dark smudges beneath his left eye, along his lip and circling the edges of each
nostril stood out from the stark whiteness of his skin.
Blood.
He wasn’t just drunk, he was hurt.
Can't wait for the new book to come out
