Someone has secrets
They'll kill to keep buried
Erin Reed's life spirals into terror after she barely
escapes an arson attack with her little boy in her arms. As the threats against
her life multiply, she discovers that Detective Sam McKeige is a man she can
rely on to protect her and her son. What begins as trust turns into something
that might be love…if she and Sam get the chance to explore it. Can they
uncover the identity of the serial killer who's been stalking her before this
monster rips the future away from them?
Gripping tale of suspense and romance. Both main
characters are realistically portrayed with believable backstories that made me
eager to see a happy outcome for them.
Erin is a single mother of an adorable three-year-old son
named Toby. Her ex-husband is not in their lives, leaving her to support them
on her own. She has a thriving business reselling items she purchases at estate
sales and storage unit auctions. She's stunned when her latest storage unit
purchase contains many high-end items. While talking to the facility's owner
about finding the unit's previous owner, an arsonist sets the office on fire.
Erin and Toby barely escape with their lives.
Sam is the detective assigned to the case. Drawn to Erin
and her son, his protective instincts hit hard, especially since Toby reminds
him of the son he lost. His scenes with Toby are especially emotional. I loved
how sensitive Erin and Sam are to each other's pain and the love and trust that
builds between them.
The suspense was terrific. The intensity of the search
for the suspect and his missing items, especially after a gruesome discovery,
kept me glued to the pages. As the perpetrator visited other dealers and left
destruction in his wake, the pressure on Sam and Erin grew. They knew it was
only a matter of time before he circled back to Erin. The build-up to the final
confrontation kept me up way past my bedtime as I couldn't stop until I knew
how it ended.
