He recognizes the darkness in her. It's in him, too.
Detective Jacob Payton knows the clock is ticking down. Someone is about to die, and his best suspect is also his only source of information. He's known Emma Ration's story for years-after all, a brutal serial killer left his mark on both their lives when they were still young. Meeting her is another experience altogether. She challenges his control and entices him in ways no other woman has.
But is she the killer? As the bodies pile up and their passion ignite, Jacob runs the risk of losing his control. Falling for Emma was never in his plan, but now that she's part of his life he's not about to give her up. Not even to the FBI on the trail of the very same killer.
Jacob must figure out if it's Emma in danger, or himself. If he can't uncover the identity of the copycat killer, it could be the end for both him and the woman who has fast become the center of his life.
