This is a previously-published edition of ASIN B072SXTQ3V. You can find all editions of this work here A man-a monster-hides in the shadows waiting to claim her. She'll be his, even if it's the last thing he does... it’s Kismet. Maya doesn’t understand the danger she’s in. Not until she’s attacked in her home and left for dead. Brian almost lost Maya, although he never really had her. When she begins to find herself again, he swears that he’ll do anything to protect her. Even if it means he might lose his job as a Sheriff’s deputy to get it done. Maya is too stubborn to let her attacker win. Her body and spirit begin to heal as she tries to move on, to smile again, and live her life. Will the monster be caught before he comes back to finish the job? Fans of Mary Burton and Lori Foster will fall into the world of Birch County and never want to come back. .
