Adrian Meade is on the run from her rich, powerful, and vengeful ex-husband, so she creates a new identity as Anna Koch to keep herself safe. Tired of running, she has no sooner put down temporary roots in Spokane, Washington, than she finds herself in the midst of an unexpected romance with her landlord, Jason “Bigs” Bigelow, and also confronted with the century-old mystery of a missing boy. Full of dark secrets, she keeps Bigs at arm’s length until their fiery passion becomes too great to deny. Love, lies, and a ghost complicate Adrian’s life even more than it already is. As secrets begin to crack and mysteries begin to unravel, the line between the past and the present fades. Can Bigs keep her safe from an evil that transcends time or will he lose the one woman who has finally healed his heart?

EXCERPT:
Bigs leaned toward her to touch his lips against hers. “I’ve wanted to do that all night.”
“Um,” was all she could say. The safe thing to do would be to say thanks and go home. She didn’t feel inclined to play safe tonight and so instead she brought her hand up and ran her fingers through his thick hair, pulling his face closer to hers. “Then do it,” she told him.
His eyes lit up at her words in a way that had her pulse racing. He kissed her again, this time deep and questioning. The tip of his tongue touched hers in a shot of fire. Maybe it was the wine, or maybe it was simply her overwhelming desire, but she answered him in a silent but undeniable yes. She wanted him with a fervor as primal as the wild animals still roaming much of the prairies outside. Adrian needed him, needed the touch of someone kind, gentle, and exciting all at the same time. She had been isolated for too long. The ice in her veins screamed for a thaw.
