After the Dark

A disgraced FBI profiler must stop a sadistic killer she knows all too well in the New York Times–bestselling author's romantic thriller series debut.

Former FBI agent Samantha Dark was one of the bureau's star profilers, an expert on the twisted minds and dark hearts of depraved criminals. But when her own former lover turned out to be the serial killer she was hunting, Samantha's career was destroyed. Blamed for the FBI's failure on the complex case, Samantha left Washington, DC, for the quiet anonymity of Alabama.


Now an all-too-familiar killer is hunting once again. To catch the cunning assassin, she must put her trust in her former partner, Blake Gamble. Ex-military, Blake is tough, protective, precise. She knows he wants her back in the FBI . . . and possibly more. But someone else wants her, too. A threat is waiting in the dark, a killer who has set his sights on the ultimate trophy victim—Samantha.

This volume includes the novella The Gathering Dusk, a prequel to After the Dark.
