Texas Ranger Sloan McKinney was hired to solve two different murders – with one eerily similar M.O. Sheriff Carley Matheson had her hands full: A sixteen-year-old unsolved murder and a strong hunch that the killer had resurfaced and struck again. As if things couldn't get any worse, the Texas Rangers had sent Sloan McKinney – the one man she'd always tried to keep at a distance – to spearhead the investigation. Now the only way to keep the citizens of Justice, Texas, safe – and solve two connected crimes – was to join forces. But someone resented Carley and Sloan digging up the past, and before long two of Texas's finest found themselves caught in the crosshairs of a murderer.
