'If someone had asked me a few days ago if I ever thought I would find myself back in Orlando, I would have knocked all of their teeth out. Partially because no one in Utah should have known where I came from and partially because I have a pension towards senseless violence.'
Eden has spent the past three years running from the agency that made her into the monster she is today, but after a run-in with an old ally who offers her a second chance to get her life back, she finds herself thrust back into the one place she swore never to set foot in again. Things are different this time; the stakes are higher than ever. Eden must track down the supernatural creature responsible for a string of killings while ensuring she doesn't lose herself to the man who makes her feel things she hasn't in years.

Brave Enough To Love Again
I stood with my back to her, shielding her, and my murderous eyes stared down at the poor excuse of a man, promising unimaginable pain if he dared to move or even flinch. The enormity of control it took me to suppress the impulse to eradicate the piece of scum, who dared to even think about laying a hand on a woman, was inconceivable. My whole body was trembling with rage. The guy was intimidated by the fury in my eyes and stumbled back to his intoxicated friends who were too dazed to understand the situation. I was disappointed and relieved at the same time that the chaos didn't end in a fist fight. When I turned around to console her, she was gone. And as I looked around, I saw her back just leaving the bar through the entrance. I hurried out to follow her. She walked ahead of me aimlessly and disoriented like a wounded animal that had just escaped the claws of death. My heart ached for her. I found a kindred soul in her. She evidently had been wounded in the past. Just like me. But in an even worse way than I had been hurt, and it angered me, that someone had dared to harm her. *** Eden Marie Simmons is still recovering after escaping an abusive relationship when she meets Keane, the broody and enigmatic neighbor who is shrouded in mystery.
