My brother's murder by the man I loved turned me into a killer without emotion or remorse.Now I work as an assistant coroner in one of the country's top crime labs, surrounded by death and buried under secrets that can never surface. Detachment is how I survive. Love is a weakness I can't afford.Until Johnny Cooper.He's a Crime Scene Analyst with a sharp mind and a dangerous ability to see through my walls. The pull between us is immediate, unsettling, and impossible to ignore. The closer he gets, the more fragile my carefully controlled world becomes.When a copycat killer starts targeting the people closest to me, hiding is no longer an option. The line between hunter and hunted vanishes. Every choice carries a deadly cost.Choose love and risk everything.Choose darkness and lose the only person who makes me feel alive.
