When first love gets a second chance, danger follows close behind in this sultry Southern romantic suspense novel that will keep you turning pages until dawn.

Edward and Cara’s teenage romance bloomed during sun-drenched summers at Wixby River Farms, but fate tore them apart just as their love was taking root. Now, six years later, destiny has brought them back to each other.

Edward would give anything to reclaim the heart of the woman who still haunts his dreams. But as their rekindled passion burns hotter than a Georgia summer, he discovers Cara is being hunted by someone who will stop at nothing to possess her. Between the shadows of ancient palmetto trees and the cobblestone streets of Charleston, a deadly game of obsession is unfolding.
