Paradise Aldens childhood in Nova Cambridge, Alabama, was idyllic until the night her parents were murdered.
Since then, life has left her scarred.
The abuse she suffered in the foster care system, her first loves betrayal, and the jaguar attack that nearly destroyed her career have led to an unshakable distrustin men, in God, and maybe in even in herself.
After fifteen years, returning to her hometown is a last resort to finding her life again.
Shes hoping the wildlife refuge where shes accepted a veterinarian job will be the perfect place to heal from her recent traumas and unlock her memories about the night her parents died.
But the day she arrives at The Sanctuary, a body is discovered on the grounds.
And soon, a series of deadly events threatens not only her future, but the man who, despite all odds, still makes her pulse stutter.
Arson, a shooting, a break-in, and multiple instances of animals being freed from their enclosures all point back to him, but Paradise knows Blake Lawson isnt responsible.
Not the man who has been helping his mother manage The Sanctuary these past six months and care for his stepbrothers in the wake of their fathers death ...
even if his betrayal years ago cost her everything.
Someone dangerous is lurking beneath the towns moss-draped trees, and Paradise refuses to let another murderer disappear into the shadows.
