DEAD STOP

The recording that lands on reporter Ainsley Brennan’s desk bears no postmark and no return address, only an ominous label—“Day One”—and the agonized screams of a young woman. It’s a sound Ainsley will never forget, and when a pretty coed’s mutilated body is found in the nearby woods, she knows there’s a connection. But convincing Serenity Heights’ stubborn, sexy new deputy police chief, Beck Raines, that she’s right is another matter.

TASTE THEIR FEAR

Nothing ever happens in Serenity Heights. That’s precisely why Beck Raines transferred there from L.A.’s homicide division before the inevitable burnout set in. Now suddenly he’s dealing with one dead freshman and another who has gone missing, not to mention a gorgeous, interfering reporter who’s quickly becoming a professional and personal complication.

AND MAKE THEM PAY…

As the attraction between Beck and Ainsley spirals out of control, so does the danger. Someone is torturing and killing the town’s brightest and most beautiful students–someone determined to make them suffer for their lives of privilege and success. With each grisly murder, the serial killer grows bolder, braver, and more brutal. And his next victim will be the most shocking—and personal—of all…

The dead always have a story to tell. All he has to do is wait for the truth to be revealed to him. The living trust him with their grief – and their dirty little secrets. Only then can he set about playing matchmaker, uniting the dead with their true soul mates. . .for all eternity. . .

Exhuming a boy is the last thing former FBI profiler Greer Lomax wants to do. Just the thought of it brings on the panic attacks she’s fought for two years. Now, as deputy sheriff, Greer Lomax is going to have to face her darkest fears. Because the body she’s exhumed isn’t alone. He’s joined by a young woman whose name is on a missing person’s list.

The one person Greer can call for help is FBI agent Ash Keller. Ash hasn’t forgotten the hot blonde with the too-sexy smile and he hasn’t forgiven her for leaving him behind when she quit the Bureau. Working the case sparks the attraction they’ve tried to deny for too long and unleashes a passion they can’t control – one that could blind them to the most dangerous mistakes of the past.
