Bestselling romance author Delaney Shea agrees to a book signing at a wholesale mega-warehouse near her South Florida home. She never imagined how one simple act could change her life. Of course, that was before gunshots thundered from the front of the store over the stunned crowd.

Dressed entirely in black, the shooter wears a mask revealing his unusual and exotic gray eyes that match those of Delaney’s estranged husband. But how could it be, if she’d just attended his funeral a few weeks before?

The gunman aims at Delaney and fires. She survives the horror only to learn of another.

The killer has a vendetta, years in the making. And he’s after her. FBI Special Agent Jordon Burke is assigned the lead on the case. He arrives with impressive skills and a past he’d prefer to forget. Despite his efforts, clues to aid him in the capture of the gunman are few.

Sparks fly between Delaney and the attractive agent, but so do daggers when he insists on controlling her life. Move from the home she loves into a safe house? Absolutely not!

The situation becomes dire when blood evidence from the book signing attack returns, and the FBI determines that the shooter has planned his deadly path to Delaney by killing the people she loves first. Despite their pledge to the contrary, Delaney and Special Agent Burke have fallen into a forbidden, seductive romance. He is willing to die for her. She refuses to allow him.

Pushed to the edge by heart-stopping fear, Delaney forms a plan to run and disappear, to take the monster with her and away from those she loves. She brings an old duffel bag and her beloved wolfdog. Her Special Agent rushes to find her.

The killer already has.
