FBI Agent Paul Fletcher thought the Dakota Strangler case was closed, the notorious serial killer presumed dead. But when a chilling note surfaces, threatening survivor Elise Johnson and the new life she’s built, Paul finds himself pulled back into a nightmare he thought was over.
With the danger closing in on Elise’s quiet Texas town, Paul’s only option is to stay close—very close. Moving into her home to protect her and her two boys, the no-nonsense agent becomes a part of their world. As Paul fights to uncover the killer’s identity, he also battles Elise’s emotional walls, built high to guard her wounded heart.
But as their bond deepens, so does the killer’s deadly game. Paul must risk everything—not just his career, but his newfound hope for a future with Elise—to stop a murderer who’s determined to shatter the family Paul is desperate to protect.
