She's looking to reinvent herself.
After the worst two years of her life, Aspen Savich has just moved across the country to the Outer Banks, looking to start over and leave her painful past behind. But it follows her anyway, bringing consequences she never could have imagined. Someone is watching her. Targeting her—and they don't care who gets in the way. She has no one to turn to except the sexy local mechanic who has found a way past all her defenses, never dreaming the kind of danger they're up against.
He's about to have his world turned upside down.
Tragedy made Coast Guard veteran Bowie Davenport withdraw from the world around him. He's lived in Kill Devil Hills his whole life, focusing on work and family. Being alone is something he made peace with long ago—until the sexiest woman he's ever seen pulls up to his garage in a little red Woody asking for help. There's no way he can say no, even with his unwanted attraction to her. He tries to fight it, but soon he's fallen completely under her spell. And when the unthinkable happens, he won't hesitate to stand between her and the deranged enemy bent on taking her life.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Set along the beautiful beaches of North Carolina’s Outer Banks, the first book in the Kill Devil Hills series offers up plenty of thrills minus any overt violence. California native Aspen Savich has just inherited her uncle’s beautiful beach house in Kill Devil Hills—which is a good thing, because she’s ready to start over. She catches the eye of Coast Guard veteran Bowie Davenport, who gets even more invested when someone starts stalking and threatening Aspen. We love how Kaylea Cross builds the suspense while letting Aspen and Bowie process their past traumas. Bonus treat: the details of Aspen’s retro vintage wardrobe.
