Return to New York Times bestselling author Rachel Lee's Conard County, where a killer lies in wait…

The note wasn't a threat, exactly. But for Corey Donahue, who'd witnessed her mother's murder as a child, it felt very menacing. Surprisingly, the one person she trusted to show the note to was a man merely renting a room from her – Austin Mendez. Traumatized since childhood, Corey had never trusted men – until Austin moved in.

Six years undercover had caused Austin to shut everyone out – until Corey. The vulnerability she hid from others made him yearn to break down the walls she'd erected around her heart. And with a killer closing in, two lost souls were discovering the trust they'd lost — and much more — in each other's arms.
