a teenager mysteriously disappears in Hawick Falls, New Hampshire, Lisa Raynes
fears her kidnapper, who recently escaped from prison, is hunting girls again.
She also believes he’s targeted her for his next victim when she receives a
threatening message. To add to her problems, her ex-boyfriend Travis Bodell,
nephew of her captor, shows up in town. Five years ago, he promised to love
Lisa forever, but he left her to start a new life. Trusting him was a mistake
she will never repeat.
Bad boy Travis Bodell
has a history of run-ins with the law. The police suspect he came back to aid
his uncle, not to warn Lisa she’s in danger. With the investigation going

name, grow. She realizes the only way to stay alive is to open her heart and
put her faith in Travis, but can she let go of her doubts and lingering hurt?
Can the couple join forces and win against a cunning criminal fueled by hate?

Excerpte:
She walked out of the house. The spotlight flicked on and
caught the creeping fog. Her footsteps scuffed over the grass. Dampness chilled
her legs and arms. The recent email replayed in her thoughts. Payback is a
bitch.
“Lisa?”
She spotted him. Too late. She gasped as his fingers wrapped
around her forearm. She lifted up the poker and swung.
“Stop. Stop.” He ducked and shot his hands over his head
while backing up. “It’s me, Travis. Take it easy.”
She paused with the fire iron in the air. “I know who you
are. That’s why I’m trying to hit you.”
Travis Bodell, the boy she went to meet the night she was
kidnapped. Was it him? She examined his face for traces of the person she’d
loved.
The teenage Travis had preferred to hide his eyes and
thoughts under his tousled dark hair. This dude wore a shorter cut, but his
style was long enough to look uncombed and gave her a clear view of his
features. His tan suggested he’d spent hours in the sun. Travis always loved
the outdoors. She swept her gaze over his bristled chin, wide mouth, and the
u-shaped scar on his left cheek. It was him! She lowered her arm with the iron.
Why in the name of purgatory was he here? They’d broken up a
month after graduation. Her anger resurfaced. “Hold still so I can at least
punch you.” She raised her fist.
