Innocent Prey

A detective and a self-help guru search for a judge's kidnapped daughter in this romantic suspense novel by a New York Times–bestselling author.

Self-help superstar Rachel de Luca and Detective Mason Brown have finally given in to their overwhelming attraction to each other, but neither of them is ready to let physical passion turn into full-blown romance, so they carefully maintain an emotional distance. Then a judge's daughter disappears, and Mason has a terrible sense that it's connected to the most recent case they solved together: the abduction of Rachel's assistant.


The discovery of a string of missing women—all young, all troubled—seems like a promising lead. But there's no clear connection between the missing girls and the high-profile young woman Mason is trying to find. He realizes that once again he must rely on his own well-honed instincts and Rachel's uncanny capacity to see through people's lies to catch a predator and rescue his captives. But can they do it before Rachel becomes the next victim?
