PIPER MORGAN loses everything for the sake of a story. Two years later, can she regain her life by chasing another serial killer with her ex-fiancé?
Piper is plagued with horrific memories of her frightening kidnapping and rape. She flounders while writing a lifestyle column until her boss insists she handle a missing-person case which simultaneously thrills and terrifies her. Forced to leave the safety of the office, Piper and her service dog, Tazzie, join in the search for the missing pregnant woman.
Texas Ranger JAXSON WYATT conceals his aggravation over his haunted past by focusing on his job and not his personal life. Then the ex-fiancé he failed to protect shows up as a reporter on his case. Jaxson is determined not to waste this opportunity for a second chance with Piper.
As the search for the missing woman continues, Tazzie’s specialized scent training leads Piper and Jaxson to a gruesome burial site. The bodies of several missing pregnant women are found—another serial killer case. But where are their babies?
“Masterfully Suspenseful … You will need to clear a little to time to read this captivating story because once you start it you won’t want to put it down until you read the very last sentence. There will be NO SPOILERS HERE – I just want to say the story is compelling, the characters are wonderful, and the intrigue is mesmerizing. I particularly appreciated the respect given by the author to service animals. For those individuals concerned about sensitive subjects, be aware that there are some explicit sex scenes, some fairly graphic sexual violence, and occasional cursing. While this story revolved around some disturbing issues, these issues are, sadly, both current and relevant. This well-crafted tale deserves to be read and appreciated.”
