Crew Lawless was just doing his job when he saved Aspen McKay from that fire. The call should've been routine: get the vic out, pass her off to the paramedics, and forget about her. But there's nothing routine about the feelings Aspen stirs in him, and there's definitely no forgetting her. Especially not when, down on her luck after her ordeal, he offers her a place to stay-with him.

Private investigator Aspen McKay came to Dusk Valley looking into a serial killer, but she never anticipated becoming a victim herself. After nearly dying, everyone she meets in the small town treats her with pity-except Crew Lawless. And now that she's staying with him, she can't deny how alive being around him makes her feel.

As things heat up between Crew and Aspen, so does the hunt for the killer who continues to taunt them from the shadows. Now, they're coming under fire, and they're about to take on the fight of their lives.
