Juniper Rae Scott was once on the road to something big in law enforcement-until a major case went wrong, and everything crashed. The one person she trusted most, Elias Holt Everett, walked away with the promotion... while she took the fall.
She hasn't forgiven him since.
But everything changes when a woman receives a severed finger as a gift-and then dies days later. Juniper is unexpectedly pulled back into action, chasing a case that grows stranger with every turn.
The only thing more complicated than the case?
She's partnered up with him again.
-"You still don't trust me," she says.
Elias looks at her, voice low-"If I didn't, I wouldn't have asked for you."
-He snapped his fingers. "Yeah, that one! My cousin's girlfriend's brother does landscaping there. Says the husband's a total creep."
-"Stop looking at me like that," i said without turning around.
Elias leaned closer, voice low. "If you knew how I looked at you... you wouldn't be able to stand still."

The air was heavy with anticipation, the shadows trembling with the promise of secrets yet to be revealed. The city held its breath, waiting for the spark that would ignite the flames of chaos and destruction. And then, everything went black. ● In the depths of darkness, where shadows writhe like living things, there exists a truth so profound, it can only be whispered in the silence of the night. A spark remains, a flicker of what once was. A dying ember, warm to the touch, yet cold as the grave. And in this desolate landscape, a heart beats, fueled by the very flames that consume it. Will the fire that once warmed their souls ultimately be their demise? Or will they find a way to rise from their ashes, their hearts forged in darkness, their spirits unbroken?
