I have secrets in my past that need to stay there—things I don't talk about. But when one of those nightmares comes back to life, there's nothing I can do to hide those terrible things from my brothers any longer.

Amelia Banks makes frequent appearances in my nightmares, both of us survivors of a sadistic serial killer from my time away from the ranch as a cop. I thought that was all over and done with—it had almost killed me and driven me crazy.

But when Amelia shows up on the ranch, terrified that the killer is hunting her once more, I start to realize that some things are never really over.
