NO ONE HEARD HER CRY FOR HELP… 
          All attorney Laurel Chandler wanted was a place to hide, to escape the painful memories of a case that had destroyed her career, her marriage, and nearly her life. But coming home to the peaceful treelined streets of her old hometown won’t give Laurel the serenity she craves. For in the sultry heat of a Louisiana summer, she’ll find herself pursued by a gorgeous stranger whose carefree smile hides a private torment… and by a murderer who enjoys the hunt as much as the kill.

EXCEPT THE MAN WHO WANTS HER DEAD… 
          With his sexy Southern drawl and brazen bedroom eyes, bestselling horror writer Jack Boudreaux has seduced half the women in Bayou Breaux without even trying. And now the notorious bad boy has turned his easy Cajun charm on Laurel. But even as she responds to Jack’s reckless passion, a serial killer who’s terrorizing this sultry Southern town commits a fourth brutal murder… and suddenly Laurel knows that in the face of temptation, she must keep her head to track down the ruthless killer who may have already won her heart.
