More than a year ago, a serial killer terrorized the small town of Lucy Falls. Now he’s back…and the woman he’s determined to kill is the one the man assigned to protect her can’t afford to lose.

Tallulah ‘Twiggy’ Gentry has spent her life being treated like decoration in other people’s stories—rich man’s daughter, trophy consultant, pretty little hacker brain on a shelf. Not anymore. In Lucy Falls, the prickly tech genius has carved out a quiet existence behind a screen, helping the sheriff’s department hunt monsters from the safety of the shadows.

Until the one who got away sets his sights on her again.


Bran Kelly has seen what men like serial killer Henry Thurston leave behind. The Irish mob enforcer is in Lucy Falls for one reason: keep Twiggy safe.

He’s prepared for attitude. He’s prepared for her to fight him on every security protocol. He’s not prepared for the fierce, neurospicy sprite who dismantles his defenses with sharp questions, softer truths…and the way she fits perfectly against his too-big body when the nightmares hit.


When Henry’s obsession proves personal, Twiggy becomes more than an asset—she becomes a target. Forced into close quarters in a town that’s starting to feel like home, Bran has to decide what matters more: bringing down a killer, or protecting the woman who’s become his entire world.

The killer wants to write the ending to their story.

Bran plans to guard her close enough that he never gets the chance.

Grab this small town romantic suspense with a grumpy Irish protector, a prickly neurodivergent heroine, and a serial killer who just won’t let go.
