    About this ebook

    A Virginia homicide detective must save a young widow from an obsessed serial killer in the New York Times bestselling author’s romantic suspense novel.

    An aspiring artist. A high-school senior. A stripper. Three missing women with only one thing in common—wealthy Craig Thornton knew them all. For that, they paid the ultimate price. Then Craig comes to his own untimely end, and his wife Adrianna is left to face the shocking truth of his life . . .

    When Adrianna starts receiving cards and flowers from her late husband, she assumes it’s someone’s cruel joke. Then grisly remains are found on the Thornton estate. Detective Gage Hudson believes the bodies are linked to Craig. But the biggest shocks are yet to come. A psychopath has resumed his work, each death a prelude to his most cherished target. The only way to stop him is to uncover a family’s dark past—and a twisted love someone will kill for, again and again . . .

      The plot twisted and turned and kept me guessing, but there were some inconsistencies that pulled me out of the story. For example, in one scene, the heroine was going through storage containers. She finished a barrel of baby clothes and was working on a barrel of books. Someone entered the room, and she put down the baby sleeper she was holding. I had to go back and re-read to confirm that she was supposed to be working with books. A small detail, but distracting, especially when there were several throughout the book. Readers who like to read complex plots about sick, vicious villains will find this book fascinating.
