Lucy Baylor's life is spent in the shadows, fearlessly hunting Canada's most violent predators. She's committed to curing the world of evil and hopefully erasing the stain on her family name. There is no place for love in her life and even if there was, she's not convinced that she deserves it.

Sam Taylor decided long ago that he wasn't meant for love. He falls too hard, feels too much; temporary is easier and safer. That's what he tells himself anyway. 

When one of Sam's loved ones goes missing from his hometown, it leads him to uncover an evil the likes of which he has never seen. The need for temporary and safe fades as he works side by side with Lucy to defeat the shadows that threaten those he cares about most.

Now, with Reid determined to prove he's not the man he used to be and Hailey struggling to trust her heart, they must decide whether their connection is worth the risk. Will they overcome the mistakes of the past, or will fear and pride destroy the love that's beginning to thaw between them?

Strong, resilient, and a bit rough around the edges, Ken lives by his own rules-until a chance encounter introduces him to someone who breaks through his armor.
