National Readers' Choice Awards finalist in Romantic Suspense
Danger once again laps at the shores of Barkley Sound, the Graveyard of the Pacific .
It may be summer, but schoolteacher Anna Silver s trip to the coastal town of Bamfield is anything but a vacation. She s on the run, desperate to stay one step ahead of her father s murderer and determined to track down the one man she s been told to trust: her father s old cell mate, Brent Carver. But when she finds him, she discovers not a kind, elderly artist but a dangerously hot alpha male with blood on his hands.
Loyal to the core, Brent would never turn away his friend s daughter when she comes seeking help. He can t deny Anna his protection just as he can t deny the instantaneous attraction he struggles to keep in check. But as their passion blazes out of control, a sadistic killer is on the hunt to stop Anna from uncovering his dark secrets.
