Book excerpt: A detective barely hanging onto her career. A partner who refuses to walk away. A deadly game of hide and seek neither of them see coming. Detective Samia Lane has had it with getting involved with cops. Her ex-husband—and former captain—was a criminal and a liar who took advantage of the entire department. But when an avid hiker goes missing, she never expects her partner of three years to become anything more than a friend. Banks Everette isn’t looking to stay in the shadows of Samia’s life. He wants more. He won’t let his feelings for her get in the way of the investigation, but just as they uncover answers, the game turns personal. One they didn’t realize they were playing. Can Banks convince the detective he’s always loved to trust him with her broken heart when a killer is out to end their lives?
