At the height of summer, Cape Cod is thick with tourists, though some are more murderous than others. Kian O'Reilly is one such visitor to the Cape. His penchant for robbing the souls of irritating beachgoers is second only to his love affair with fine cars (or rather stealing them and killing their owners). But when he ends up stranded on Cape Cod with a rare car and a dead man in the trunk, he thinks his luck couldn't get any worse.
That is, until Ana Lane shows up.
Gifted as a mechanic and surfer, feisty Ana is not a fan of the entitled Frat Boys who show up every summer, messing with local girls. Believing Kian is nothing more than a typical rich brat, she fixes his car and ruthlessly dismantles his cocky ego, which intrigues the dangerous Soul Thief.
Before long, Kian finds himself falling for Ana and rediscovering the young human man he once was in the process. But when the painful truth behind the real Ana Lane comes to light, Kian may go back to his killer ways to save the one girl he truly loves from the very human monster she lives with . . .

She's Topper's little sister - the quiet one, the good one, the girl who never steps out of line. But behind the calm exterior is a girl who's tired of being perfect. Of being polite. Of belonging to a world she never chose. JJ Maybank lives on the other side of the island, where bills pile up, tempers run hot, and the only thing you can count on is yourself. He's reckless, sharp-tongued, and loyal to a fault. The kind of boy who's been taught that people like Juliet are untouchable. They don't make sense. They're not supposed to. But somehow, when their worlds crash together, it's not chaos that follows - it's clarity. Quiet conversations in moonlight. Glances that say more than words. A slow burn that neither of them expected but both of them feel deep in their bones.
