Jake Morran traded his gun for a shovel years ago, content to dig graves in the quiet cemetery on the edge of town and pretend his past is six feet under. The dead don't talk back until a black car rolls in at midnight and a woman steps out with fear in her eyes and blood on her hands.

Tessa Calderone was born into power, but her family's empire is built on lies. When a close friend turns up dead and she's left holding the shovel, she turns to the one man her father would never forgive her for trusting, the ex-enforcer who once saved her life.

Caught between the fire burning between them and the ghosts stalking him in the dark, Jake knows every time he looks over his shoulder, someone's waiting to bury them both.
