In Shadow Cove, quiet streets hide dark secrets. When a dangerous game of cat and mouse begins, it’s hard to tell who is the hunter—and who will become the prey.
Cori Lamb lost her chance at the life she’d pictured when circumstances pushed her into new responsibilities. She swapped sketches and runways for real?world obligations.
Instead of the career she long dreamed of, she now works as a small?town private investigator, digging up other people’s secrets. Enter Daxton Hunt: handsome and unmistakable.
Quiet by day, yet impossible to ignore. But beneath his polished veneer, something darker and magnetic lurks.
Dax meets Cori’s probing with a hungry intensity, letting her believe she was closing in while he gently steered the chase. Soon, he issues a demand that overturns their cat?and?mouse game.
Despite her resistance, there is a secret thrill. Part of her wants him to catch her, to close the distance between hunter and prey.
As she pushes back, she can’t ignore the steadiness he shows as he becomes someone she can count on. Together they pry open old betrayals and unearth family secrets that claw into the light.
Cori must decide whether to accept an alliance that will push her farther than she ever thought possible.
