I came to Galveston to start over. I wasn’t looking for trouble or for him.

Fresh off a divorce from my cheating ex, I wanted peace and quiet. But when my neighbor turns up dead, I know something’s wrong. I saw the fake cop watching her house. I remember every detail, and I sketch the man who knocked on my door pretending to be law enforcement.

I came to Galveston to start over. I wasn’t looking for trouble or for him.

Fresh off a divorce from my cheating ex, I wanted peace and quiet. But when my neighbor turns up dead, I know something’s wrong. I saw the fake cop watching her house. I remember every detail, and I sketch the man who knocked on my door pretending to be law enforcement.

That sketch brings Lone Star Ranger, Deacon Winslow to me. Brooding. Controlled. Intense. He says the man I drew is an assassin known as the Reaper, and I’m now his next target.

Deacon insists on staying close to protect me. Too close. I don’t trust easily, especially not men, but the danger is closing in, and Deacon isn’t just strong and lethal… he’s something more.

Something not entirely human.

Living together was never part of the plan. Falling for him was definitely not on my list. But the truth is coming for both of us, and nothing will ever be the same.
