Nothing is deeper than the desire they can’t fight—or deadlier than the evil they can’t escape.

FBI agent Kyle McKenzie only has eyes for—and fantasies about—his partner, Cadence Hollow. She’s a profiler with a knack for getting inside killer’s heads—and the woman Kyle can’t get out of his. And though her beauty and brains come with an all-business attitude, she’s hardly blind to her fellow agent’s ardor…or immune to his appeal. But surrendering to the passionate possibilities is something they’ve never dared to do—until a terrifying case puts their lives and their love on the line.

Sleepy Paradox, Alabama, is in the throes of its worst nightmare. A woman’s disappearance is covered with the fingerprints of a psychopath known as the Night Hunter. And the local law needs Cadence and Kyle’s special skills to end the predator’s terror spree once and for all. But the Hunter knows the agents’ darkest secrets and deepest fears—and vows to use the desire they share to destroy them.
