Six months ago, Dr. Lila Rose returned to her home town of New Orleans. Five days ago, she started finding roses tucked against the windshield of her car. As an ER doctor and daughter of two FBI agents, Lila has a finely tuned intuition and she knows the blooms aren't harmless—but in this city, she'd be laughed out of the police station for filing a complaint.

When FBI agent Jake Doucette hears through the grapevine about Lila's roses, he knows exactly what they mean. And even worse, he knows just what kind of danger Lila—a woman he's known since she was toddling around her parents' yard—is in.

Because twenty-one years ago, the Baccara Killer struck New Orleans. And now it looks like he's back.

Lila Rose, a tattooed mysterious doctor, first appears in THE FRAILTY OF THINGS, book 4 of the Windsor Series. She has more than a few people convinced she has some sort of past. And she does, but it's not what you think...

This story is connected to the award-winning Windsor Series but can be read as a stand-alone.
