He swore he'd never love again—until she became the target.
Leland Hale learned long ago what love costs. After losing his partner in the line of duty, he swore he'd never risk that pain again—no attachments, no futures, no promises he couldn't keep. His work is dangerous, and his world is deadly. Getting close to anyone only paints a target on their back.
Julia never meant to fall for a man who would never be hers, but the pull she feels toward Leland is fierce. Every touch leaves her breathless. Their chemistry is impossible to resist. So when Leland draws a hard line between them, insisting she deserves more than he can give, Julia refuses to settle and walks away - from the club, from Leland, and from the safety she didn't realize she had.
As women begin disappearing from Miami's public club scene—and one turns up dead—the Devlin team starts hunting a predator they don't yet understand. But once they identify the common threads between each of his victims, a chilling realization hits Leland. Julia fits the profile.
Now the woman he tried to protect has become the killer's perfect target. And the only way to keep her safe is breaking the vow that has ruled his life for years. Because losing Julia isn't a risk that Leland is willing to take.
