Brooke Douger has a knack for helping others with their broken lives, which explains her interest in criminal psychology and profiling. She convinces her childhood friend, Jacob, to move to Tampa after his latest fiasco, where he finds a job at a legal firm, which is defending Zach Barton, a rich, young entrepreneur who is accused of murdering his ex-girlfriend. When Brooke has to provide expert testimony in Barton's trial, Jacob and Brooke end up on opposite sides of the courtroom. As Brooke prepares to testify, she discovers a pattern of violent, impulsive behavior in Barton's past, eerily similar to those of the Surfside Killer, the case she has been asked to help profile for the FBI. Brooke is swirling in dangerous waters with the killer lurking on the fringe of her life. Who will be his next victim? Will Brooke's knack for profiling be enough to keep her safe?

He's the last one standing... So they sent the best one to break him. ​Lucas​Love is for fools. I left all that wuss shit behind, and no fairy-like, smiling godmother will change my mind. I've got enough on my mind with a beta pushing my buttons and a town to keep safe. Never mind these urges inside me surfacing again, when I thought I'd buried them for good. ​My wolves are falling in amore like bowling pins, and no amount of reasoning will make them stop.Now the last one's gone over the moon, and they all expect me to be the last to love.​Only they've got another thing coming.'Cause the only way I'm falling in love? Is over my dead body.​Monica​One more job, they said. One tiny thing I have to do, to bring the prodigal son back home in the warm arms of his beloved family. They said it would be easy. They gave me all the tools. But the minute I'm facing Lucas, I know all those plans have just failed. Burned, thrown out the window, type of failed. ​Those onyx eyes see right through me, and I fully expect he'll throw me out on my ass. So why is it he's suddenly more interested in getting me in bed, rather than thrown out? And what happens when I fall for it, but it's too late to stop the events I've set into motion? *Book IV in a paranormal shifter series filled with werewolves of all kinds, feisty females who stand up to them, and enough suspense to make it interesting. Can be read as standalone.*

Brian Laster swore he'd never return to his home town of Haven, Montana. After all, he'd been a total dick to everyone there before he'd left, including his mother.

Mia's latest assignment brought her to the small town and directly into Brian's bed. Not that she had any complaints of working with the dark, tall, and very sexy man, but as with everything else in her life, she knew it would only end in trouble.
