For Mia Voss, tracing killers is business. But her work just got personal.

At first, Mia thinks it is just bad luck when her already lousy day ends with a carjacking, but what seems like a random incident is followed by another sinister episode. As a DNA expert, Mia has made it her mission to put away vicious criminals, but suddenly, she has become the target of one. The only way to protect the people she loves most is to deliberately destroy her reputation and risk letting a killer walk free.

Mia is the sexiest, most intriguing woman Detective Ric Santos has ever met, and he can tell she's lying--and that she's scared. There was a time when Mia trusted Ric--but that was before Ric let his turbulent past get between them. Now, Mia must face her own past, as the key to catching a sadistic madman may lie within one of her long-buried cases. Only she can uncover the truth, but first she will have to trust Ric with her secrets... and her life.
