I didn’t believe in redemption until her.
I’m a haunted man, living on the sea. My best friend is the ghost I can’t outrun. Drowning in guilt and bourbon, I wander from port to port stopping only long enough to replenish food, fuel, and booze.
Until Salem.
Until her.
Until I can no longer hide.
Like a fish caught in a net, she was trapped by a monster. I have no choice but to save her.
The police are in denial that they have a serial killer in their city. He’s choosing victims who won’t be missed to fulfill his twisted need to control their fate.
He picked the wrong woman this time.
All that matters now is keeping her safe while she heals. And the only place to do that is on my boat. Alone on the sea with the one woman who makes me feel way too much, I wonder if it’s time to stop living in the past.
I’ll do anything to protect her—including hunting down the monster who wants to take her away from me.
Author note: The Kendrick Group novels are full-length, action packed (both in and out of the bedroom) love stories that always end with a happily-ever-after and no cliffhangers. Locke and Cilla may start as a slow burn, but they definitely don’t lack for spicy times once they get going. Possessive hero alert for those who love them as much as I do.
