In one blazing night they shatter all their barriers. But Lauren isn’t sure if she’s ready to yield to the power of the most intimate exchange she has ever known. Even if it’s the only way to catch a killer.

If she can’t figure out who’s lying about what soon, her career hopes could vanish. Right along with her last drop of blood.
