I was determined to make it on my own, forge my own path, chase my dreamsโ€ฆthen, I was fired from the only job Iโ€™d ever loved. I was determined to wallow in self-pity, until a news article changed everything. A serial killer was terrorizing my hometown. As a newly unemployed crime podcaster, it was my dutyโ€”and my only hope of incomeโ€”to go home. Even if it meant walking straight into a nightmare, entangling myself in the games of a sick mind, and unraveling the chilling and gruesome string of murders. 

All that paled in comparison to facing my past, though. My heart had been shattered when I left home, and I knew I wouldnโ€™t survive it again. Survive him. Fate had a twisted sense of humor, though. The man who had pulverized my heart when we were teenagersโ€ฆyeah, he just so happened to be the cop whoโ€™d found the first victim. Iโ€™d face him if I had to, though. Iโ€™d face it all. Because I was going to find the killer.

No matter what.

KIERAN

Iโ€™d spent years messing up, trying to get it right, but time was never on my side. Weโ€™d been torn apart by circumstance, but some things never changed. Brooklyn Tyler was my soulmate, the missing piece of my heart, the love I could never let go. Our story was what romance novels were made of, and she may have been gone for years, but a love like ours didnโ€™t fade or fizzle. Now, fate had reunited us. 

She was back in town, chasing a murderer, putting herself in danger, and I wasnโ€™t about to lose her again. Iโ€™d protect her, fight for her, and fix what we broke. Iโ€™d make it right. Iโ€™d win her back. We would get out happily ever after.

No matter what.

HENRY

I suppose you could say I was in a bit of a predicament.
The woman of my dreams had fallen right into my armsโ€”perfect, oblivious, irresistible. Iโ€™d been her savior that night, her knight in shining armor, the one who carried her out of that bar after sheโ€™d been drugged. Too badโ€ฆI was the one whoโ€™d done it.

Sheโ€™d come back to St. Louis chasing a killer. My city. My story. My art. She wanted to catch a monster, not realizing she was already in his hands. I was supposed to end her life that night, but fate intervened. She fascinated me. Consumed me. Inspired me. How could I destroy something so exquisite when I could keep her instead?
She was mine. Every heartbeat. Every breath. Every terrified, trembling whisperโ€ฆwas mine.
No matter what.

Their sudden romance dies when Rileyโ€™s ex does. Or rather, when panic sets in, and they agree to hide the body instead of calling for help. They go their separate ways, knowing being linked could expose their crime, but when Riley starts receiving threats, thereโ€™s only one person she can go to. 

Riley and Nova find themselves bound by their deadly secret, desperate to protect their web of lies as much as each other. Two souls linked together to navigate the treacherous waters of fame and deception as theyโ€™re hunted by a masked blackmailer. 

As the lines blur between love and hate, they must confront their demons, forgive their past, and unravel the mystery before them. 

Will they overcome everything or break forever, abandoning each other to face the consequences alone?
