About The Author
My Review
This is a gripping romantic suspense that masterfully blends past trauma with present danger, delivering a twisty, emotionally satisfying story. Cassie Miles weaves a tightly plotted mystery with just the right amount of romance and intrigue.
At its core, the novel explores the long shadow of a tragic murder spree—the Lightkeeper killings—which continues to haunt Skylar, Jake, and a web of others two decades later. When a new murder mirrors those past crimes, old wounds resurface and a chilling copycat emerges, drawing everyone back to the scene of the original trauma.
The story jumps straight into the action, offering a compelling whodunit filled with red herrings and layered characters. Skylar and Jake’s relationship unfolds naturally amid the tension, culminating in a heartwarming conclusion full of hope, love, and new beginnings.
True to the Harlequin Intrigue style, this novel checks every box: suspense, emotional depth, satisfying romance, and a fast-paced plot that keeps the pages turning. A strong addition to the genre and a great pick for fans of second chances and tightly woven mysteries.
