In a town where danger lurks behind every friendly smile, trusting the wrong person could be deadly—but trusting each other might just save them both.

When FBI Agent Fox Anderson is sent to a small town plagued by disappearances, he expects to find answers— not more secrets. The Sheriff's Department is crumbling from within, and time is running out to find a missing girl before she becomes the next victim.

Kate Millard has spent years building a life she's determined to protect. Smart, guarded, and fiercely independent, she’s not about to stand on the sidelines while her town falls apart. But working with Fox means exposing the walls she's built—and risking everything she’s fought to keep hidden.

As the investigation turns deadlier and the lines between ally and enemy blur, Fox and Kate are drawn together by a bond neither of them expected—and a passion that could prove just as dangerous as the killer they’re chasing.

In a world where no one is who they seem, trust is a gamble. Love could be the ultimate risk.

Perfect for fans of gripping romantic suspense, layered characters, and slow-burn chemistry that ignites against a backdrop of danger.
