It started with a case so horrific that it sent Chicago cop Marty Hogan straight over the edge. Unable to put her disturbing memories behind her, Marty lost her job and was forced to flee to small-town Texas and the only police force that would hire her. Police Chief Clay Settlemeyer knows something about making mistakes. A single dad and former military cop, he was willing to give Marty a second chance. But when her ex-partner is brutally murdered, it’s clear that Marty’s past has come back to haunt her–and that she’s the next intended victim. Now Clay must protect the woman he’s come to love–without putting his daughter’s life in danger. -Linda Castillo writes with power, passion, and a voice you’ll never forget!—New York Times bestselling author Maggie Shayne
