Some ghosts don’t haunt—they hunt. In the quiet coastal town of Raven’s Cliff, a ritualistic murder shatters the calm. The victim is arranged with chilling precision—geometric patterns carved into the earth, a haunting phrase etched into flesh. Sheriff Greer Hudson knows this isn’t random. And when military code appears at the scene, Chase Reminton—former pararescue and Raven’s Watch medic—can’t shake the feeling he’s seen this before. As the body count rises, it becomes clear the killer isn’t just sending a message. He’s waging a personal war—one that twists the past into something violent, calculated, and terrifyingly familiar. Forced into close quarters by the case, Chase and Greer’s long-simmering connection ignites. What began as glances and guarded banter deepens into something fierce and undeniable—just as the killer begins to target what matters most. With their town under siege and trust in short supply, Chase and Greer must rely on each other not only to survive—but to protect the fragile bond growing between them. Because the killer isn’t just after blood… He wants them to feel every wound, every loss, every failure—before the end comes.

Kris sees herself as somewhat obsessive and feels she tends to push the boundaries of common sense sometimes. Her friends graciously see her as passionate and adventurous. After all, speed limits are only a guideline and shouting is just her way of rising above the chaos. Kris loves the outdoors. If she's not on her computer—or chasing after her three kids—she's out on a trail somewhere, either running with her dog or riding her mountain bike. Kris took up adventure racing a few years ago, and tries to enter one or two races every year. Kris started writing some years back, and it took her a while to realize she wasn’t destined for the padded room, and the voices chattering away in her head were really other characters trying to take shape. (And since they weren’t telling her to conquer the human race, she went with it.) Kris loves writing erotic novels. She loves heroines who kick butt, heroes who are larger than life, and sizzling sex scenes that make you squirm in your seat, and leave you feeling just a bit breathless.

Award-winning author Elle James grew up as an air force military brat. She received her work ethic from her rock-solid father, her creative streak from her artistic mother and inspiration from her writing partner and sister, Delilah Devlin. As a former member of the army reserves and a current member of the air force reserves, she's traveled across the United States and to Germany, managed a full-time job, and raised three wonderful children. She and her husband have even tried their hands at ranching exotic birds (ostriches, emus and rheas) in the Texas hill country. Ask her, and she'll tell you what it's like to go toe-to-toe with an angry three-hundred-and-fifty-pound bird and live to tell about it! Her adventures in the army and air force reserves, and the wild antics of her life on a small ranch in Texas give her fodder for mystery, suspense and humor in her writing. Elle writes gothic, paranormal mystery for the Harlequin Intrigue line and paranormal romantic comedy for Dorchester Publishing. A former manager of computer programming and project management professionals, Elle is happy she now has the opportunity to pursue her writing full time.
