NATE
I've spent thirty years following the rules so I'd never become what I walked away from. I don't bend them. I don't break them. They're not a code—they're the only thing standing between me and chaos.
Then a serial killer starts leaving bodies, and the only person who can help me find him is a woman who studies fear for a living.
She looks at me like she already knows what I'm trying to hide.
Maybe she does.
SOPHIE
I understand predators—the psychology, the patterns, the way they select their victims. I've built a career studying monsters from a safe distance.
Nate Hardison isn't a monster. But he's dangerous in ways my research never prepared me for.
He needs my expertise to catch a killer terrorizing Austin. But the closer we get to Reaper, the closer Nate gets to me.
Now, I’m starting to wonder. Which one of us in more danger? And from whom?
