To find a devious killer, a former FBI Agent must work with the one man she thought she'd never see again in this romantic thriller. After surviving a life-threatening injury in the line of duty, former FBI Special Agent Sloane Burbank now uses her specialized skills as an independent consultant. But when a childhood friends mysteriously disappears, Sloane takes the case-even though her ex-lover Derek Parker is the FBI agent in charge. Special Agent Derek Parker has no time to spare for a dead-end case-especially since it would mean working closely with Sloane. But as more women disappear and others turn up brutally murdered, he and Sloane come to the sickening realization that these random crimes are linked to the same crazed killer, a fiend with a mind so twisted that it will take everything Sloane has to capture him-even as she becomes his latest target.

Former FBI Special Agent Sloane Burbank has seen her share of danger. But she never expected that danger to invade the lives of her family . . . Then her mother is viciously attacked in the posh Manhattan apartment her parents share and it quickly becomes clear that this is no ordinary robbery-the thieves obviously after something of her father's. But what could a respected art dealer have done to merit such violence? Determined to find out the truth, Sloane discovers a deadly secret buried in her father's past that has made him the target of a power-hungry mobster with a lethal agenda. Desperate to save her father, Sloane must hold on to secrets of her own-especially from FBI Special Agent Derek Parker, the man she has grown to love deeply. Sloane could never betray her father's confidence. But withholding from Derek could prove dangerous in more ways than one. As the killer closes in on her father, Sloane finds herself in foreign territory: alone, facing escalating personal danger, and hunting a moving target in a world where memories are long and loyalties are drawn in blood.
