When by-the-book FBI scientist Olivia St. Martin learns that the testimony she gave as a child thirty years ago may have put an innocent man in jail, she vows to uncover the long-buried truth about her sister’s murder. What she learns is that her sister was the first in a long line of victims. Olivia breaks every rule in the book to track a serial killer—including lying to the Detective investigating the most recent murder.

Seattle cop Zack Travis is determined to bring a child predator to justice, even if he has to work with the prickly, cerebral Olivia St. Martin. He can’t shake the feeling that she’s keeping something from him, but he also can’t dismiss her sharp insight that helps them connect the dots leading to a killer. As the investigation intensifies, Olivia and Zack are rapidly losing control—over their secrets, their hearts, and the one case that threatens to consume them.
