It was a night like no other...darker, longer and totally unforgettable

Sara Douglas watched as Nick Tyson emerged from the heavy rain. In his face she saw little of the boy she once knew. She'd returned to Cape Darkwood to research her parents' murder. And stop the nightmares. Was Nick just another terrifying dream—or a flesh-and-blood man who would leave her breathless?

Chief of police now, pain etched Nick's rough face, colored his eyes navy blue. He'd lost someone, too, but while Sara ran, Nick had nowhere else to go. Instead, he patrolled a divided town whose secrets lay dormant at the bottom of the cliffs. Nick wouldn't let that be Sara's fate, no matter how much it pained him to see her again. Together their investigation mounted and led them to horrifying consequences—but more lethal than the case was their undeniable and deadly desire for each other...

SOME WRONGS CAN'T BE FORGOTTEN

Delilah Swift is on a career and personal high—recently promoted to detective in Stephen Kill, Delaware, and becoming involved with the chief of police, Snowden Calloway. But happiness turns to dread when bodies surface in a local pond—all dead long before they reached the water. Delilah knows the hallmarks of serial murders, and each gruesome discovery points to a twisted psychopath growing bolder and more brutal.

SOME CRIMES DESERVE NO MERCY

In this town full of secrets, a cold—blooded killer is acting as judge and executioner. Anonymous notes—harmless at first, then increasingly sinister—appear in Delilah's mailbox. But the closer Delilah gets to the truth, the higher the stakes. Because Delilah has a secret of her own. and it could be the death of her.
