From USA Today bestselling authors Jane Blythe and Amanda Siegrist comes a thrilling, keeps-you-on-the-edge-of-your-seat romantic suspense filled with loss, obsession, and love.

He has a choice to make. Face his fear ... or watch her die.

For Rose Gowan the death of her best friend means she no longer has a confidante—someone to keep her secrets, someone who knew all her insecurities—and she's not sure she's brave enough to let anyone else in. Until she meets the detective working her friend's case. He gives her hope for a future she had thought she'd never have, but he can be possessive, and she promised her best friend that she would never let anyone control her again.

Death is a part of life. It's not something Detective Carter Dixson likes to dwell on, but working in the homicide division, he has no choice. He does his job, and he does it well. When his latest case brings Rose into his life, he finally has something other than his pain from his past to focus on. She makes him smile, his heart beat faster, and actually feel happy for the first time since his brother died. He's not afraid of falling in love too fast. But he is afraid of one thing—losing Rose the same way he lost his brother.
