Once upon a time, Cade was an undercover agent infiltrating a werewolf cult who had a brief passion with Savannah, one of the women kept by the cult's leader. Now, they must team up again to find out who is trying to avenge the cult leader's death.

As they work together, they find that what they once had is still alive, but romance will have to take a backseat to solving the case and surviving it.

If you haven't read the prior book, Beneath a Rising Moon, there is a good chance you're going to be a little lost, but not hopelessly so. Aside from the paranormal element, this is a basically realistic book about obsession, religion gone wrong, and the butterfly effects of one's actions.

Synopsis
Savannah Grant once had the reputation for being the wild sister—but no one, not even her twin, knew just how wild Savannah had once been.

Now that past has come back to haunt her. Someone is murdering humans in Ripple Creek, and the murders are eerily similar to those she'd witnessed nearly ten years ago. Worse still, the man sent in to help with the investigation is the one man Savannah had hoped never to see again. The man who had taken her trust and her heart, and smashed them both.

Cade Jones is in Ripple Creek to catch the killer who'd escaped his noose ten years ago. What he doesn't expect to find is the woman who had very nearly caused his death. A woman who knew far more than she'd ever let on. A woman who'd slithered from his grasp as easily as the killer. This time, Cade has every intention of discovering what she knows—and every intention of holding her to the promises she'd made long ago.

As the murders continue, it becomes evident that the killer isn't murdering at random, that it's all part of a larger plan—revenge. In order to survive, Savannah finds herself having to trust the one man she'd swore never to trust again.

But can Cade unravel the clues left from the past and the present in time to save them both, or will a killer's need for bloody revenge snatch away his hopes of a future yet again?
