A gripping new romantic thriller
from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Laura Griffin...
The moment detective Reed Novak
steps onto the crime scene, he knows the case is going to rock his world. A
beautiful young woman murdered at home. No sign of forced entry. No motive.
She’s obviously not the killer’s first victim, and Reed’s instincts tell him
she won’t be his last. Reed’s first clue comes via a mysterious text that links
to a dating profile, but even more intriguing than the clue is the person who
sent it.
As a white-hat hacker in the Delphi
Center’s cyber investigation unit, Laney Knox sneaks into some of the deepest,
darkest corners of the Internet looking for predators. Laney would prefer to
stay away from Austin PD’s most recent murder case, but she can’t ignore the
chilling similarities between that crime and her own brutal attack years ago.
Laney offers to help the sexy lead detective, but he wants more from her than
just a promising tip—Reed wants her trust. Laney resists, but as their
relationship deepens she’s tempted to reveal the closely guarded secrets that
could make her a key witness…or the killer’s next victim.

Reed watched her, and she had that
frustrated look in her eyes again. Every time she started to open up to him, he
did something to tick her off. She shook her head and glanced away.
“Laney?”
“What?”
“I’m a
detective. It’s my job to ask questions. To push.”
She looked at
him again and her expression softened. “No, you’re right.” She glanced down at
her beer bottle and picked at the label. “I’m glad she has you.”
“Who has me?”
“April. You
seem--” She paused, like she was searching for the right word. “--committed.”
He didn’t
answer. It wasn’t really a question, but the way she looked at him gave him the
feeling she wanted a response.
She drained
her beer and plunked down the bottle. “I should get home.” She stood up.
Reed stood,
too. He left a tip on the table and followed her through the throng of people.
The bar was packed, and the music had gotten louder since they’d first walked
in.
They stepped
into the warm, muggy air. It was dusk now, and a neon Lone Star Light sign cast
a blue-and-red glow over the sidewalk. As they walked in silence, he thought of
what she’d said about her job being meaningful. It was refreshing. Maybe he’d
been a cop too long, but he didn’t know anyone who talked about things being meaningful anymore. If they thought
about work in those terms, they kept it to themselves.
Maybe he was
jaded.
No, he
definitely was jaded. But it had more
to do with his failed marriage than anything he’d seen on the job.
Reed spotted her little white car and felt a
twinge of regret. He’d enjoyed talking to her, enjoyed being near her. And he
couldn’t remember the last time that had happened with a woman. Having a beer
with Laney had been the highlight of his crap week. Hell, the highlight of his
month.
She looked
around. “Where are you parked?”
“Around back.”
She gazed up
at him. He couldn’t read her expression.
“Thanks for
the drink,” she said.
“You bought
it.”
He couldn’t
read her tone either. The thrum of music seeped through the thin walls of the
bar as they stood there in the light of the beer sign.
She stepped
closer, and a jolt of heat went through him. She looked up at him with those
bottomless brown eyes, and he knew he was in trouble. It was a bad idea to
involve this girl in his investigation. Whatever useful info she might have was
outweighed by the fact that she was young, and edgy, and he wanted her. And she
must have seen something in his face because her eyes sparked.
She went up on tiptoes and kissed him.
