Her Dying Breath

Journalist Brenda
Banks is on the verge of the biggest story of her career—if she can stay
alive long enough to finish it. A serial killer is targeting men in the
small town of Slaughter Creek, leaving behind a twisted trail of clues
meant only for Brenda. It’s a dangerous, deadly game, one she cannot
master without the help of FBI Special Agent Nick Blackwood, the man
she’s loved since high school—and whose tormented past could hold the
key to catching a killer.

Nick Blackwood barely survived
childhood at the hands of his father, a sadistic mastermind known as the
Commander. Since he left town, he’s spent his life chasing
criminals—and trying to forget the beauty he once loved. But when a
murder investigation brings him face-to-face with Brenda Banks, Nick
cannot ignore the smoldering fire she rekindles in his troubled soul.
Allowing Brenda into his heart means letting down his guard—and that’s
just what the killer is counting on…
