A city girl needs the help of a small-town sheriff to stop her stalker.

Harper's Bend is the perfect small town, especially on Halloween. Filled with friendly locals and rural traditions, Sydney views this place as her only chance to take back her life and flee from the mysterious stalker who's been after her since the death of her husband.

She didn't expect the danger to follow her, and she definitely didn't expect to develop such an instant connection to local sheriff, Preston Blacker. He's standoffish, and treats her more like a problem to solve than an actual person. There's a reason for his distance, though, and Sydney realizes that she's not the only one struggling with a dark past.

As the stalker's efforts escalate, Sydney and Preston must work together to find out who is following them. But can they keep their emotions in check long enough to save themselves?

Followed by Fear is a romantic suspense story where the heroine finds protection in the arms of a complicated hero while surrounded by the holiday trappings of rural New Mexico. It's perfect for fans of the high-stakes thrills of Cassie Miles and the quirky small towns of Maddie Day.
