Chasing The Shadow (A romance thriller)

The first thing the killer ever gave her wasn't a clue. It was a nickname.
Little Hawk.
Detective Anaya Sharma has spent her entire career chasing criminals, trusting facts over feelings and evidence over instinct.Then the murders begin. Carefully planned. Impossible to predict.
And somehow, every step she takes seems to be anticipated by the person she's hunting.
As the investigation grows darker, Anaya finds herself trapped in a dangerous game with a man she has never met but who seems to know everything about her.
A man who watches.
A man who waits.
A man who calls her Little Hawk.
But while the shadows around her grow deeper, someone else slowly finds a place in her life.
Someone who makes her laugh.
Someone who makes her feel safe.
Someone worth losing her carefully guarded heart to.
Caught between love and obsession, danger and desire, Anaya soon realizes one terrifying truth-
The closer she gets to the killer...
The closer the killer gets to her.
And some hunts were never meant to end with an arrest.
