      Na americkém severozápadě panuje obzvláště vražedná zima a vycházející hvězda FBI Laurel Snowová loví sériového vraha s děsivým modus operandi. Poblíž kostelů, charitativních organizací a poradenských center byla nalezena těla – každému z nich vrah strčil do krku valentýnské bonbony ve tvaru srdce. Oběťmi jsou dobří muži s rodinami a silnou vazbou na komunitu – alespoň to tak vypadá, dokud Laurel a její tým nezačnou vyšetřovat. Poté případ nabere šokující osobní obrat, když se mezi mrtvými objeví Laurelin otec, kterého nikdy nepotkala, bývalý pastor. Nyní se kromě vyřešení vraždy svého otce agentka snaží odhalit pravdu o jeho minulosti. Věci komplikuje její problémová polovlastní sestra Abigail, brilantní sociopatka odhodlaná dokázat, že obě zdědily zhoubný narcismus svého otce. Agentce pomáhá Huck Rivers, samotář, jehož důvěra v přirozený instinkt ho staví do rozporu s Laureliným chladným analytickým přístupem. Ale co když se vrah zaměří na Huckova vlastní temná tajemství?

Aby se však postavila tak děsivě brilantnímu vrahovi, agentka bude potřebovat veškerou pomoc, které se jí může dostat. Záchrana sestřina života by ji totiž mohla stát ten její…

    • Dr. Mariana Lopez has finally stopped bailing friends out of difficult situations. Well, except for substituting as the leader for another anger management group, pitching in as a campaign strategist for a prospective sheriff, and babysitting three dogs.

Nightmares harass her, until the real thing comes to life, and only the dark and sexy male sitting in her group can save her. However, with safety comes a price she might not be willing to pay.

      "Tabi Rusko has a simple to-do list: rob a bank, steal a recording, set up a lucrative factory, and survive the assassins on her tail. Sure, she's a demoness with the cunning and instincts that come with her species, but she's always spent more time exploring than training, and her fighting skills are okay at best. One sexy man, a human cop no less, is responsible for her being stuck in a small hick town and forced into a human anger-management group that's crazier than her. To make matters worse, his dangerous blue eyes and hard body leave her breathless and ready to rumble, and his overbearing attitude is a challenge a demoness can't refuse. Evan O'Connell just wants to enjoy his time out of the military by policing a small town and hopefully pulling cats from trees and helping old ladies cross the street before he succumbs to the disease plaguing him. The last thing he needs is a stunning, too sexy, pain in the butt blonde casing his bank and causing a ruckus everywhere she goes. There's something different about her that he can't figure out, and when she offers him immortality in exchange for her freedom, he discovers that isn't enough. One touch of her, a whirlwind beyond his imagination, and he wants the Vixen to be his forever, as soon as he takes care of the centuries old killers on her trail."--Publisher
