He lives to enforce the law. But he'll break every rule to protect her.

Nick Clark

I clipped a shiny, new FBI badge to my belt, thinking I could save the world. Four years later, the shield's got some dents, along with my idealism. And there's one cold case that's come back to haunt me.

A killer has resurfaced, and all my instincts tell me he's after the victim that got away. I'll break every rule in the book to protect beautiful, scarred Meadow. Because I've done the most dangerous, most distracting thing an agent can do. I've fallen for her.

Meadow Holiday

I don't believe in fairy tales. Not after an attack left me a half a woman. But when Nick swears to protect me from my worst nightmare, his charm cracks my resolve to guard myself. One kiss shatters it.

But, like the evil villain in the tale, the killer won't stop until he finishes what he started. And our happy ending balances on the point of a knife.
