Publisher Description
When San Antonio FBI agent Garon Grier buys a ranch in Jacobsville, Texas, the strong, silent loner is hoping to mend some broken family fences.
He's not looking for love. Grace Carver grew up in this quiet Texas town, but because of her troubled youth, she's never married–hadn't even thought about it. . . until Garon. These unlikely allies are brought together by the most difficult case of Garon's career: hunting an escaped child predator whose former victims are all dead. All except one.
Now a desperate lawman and the woman who is the lone survivor of a madman's twisted rampage have one chance to put the past to rest. . . .

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Palmer mixes aw-shucks small-town romance with cookie-cutter crime drama, but still scores points with a slowly sizzling lead relationship. Texas FBI agent Garon Greer is 36; having lost his wife to cancer 10 years earlier, he has recently moved from San Antonio, Tex., to nearby Jacobsville, where his not-quite-estranged brother Cash (from Palmer's Lawless) is police chief. The angelic Grace Carver, 24 and mourning the death of her grandmother, is the still-recovering victim of a childhood sexual assault, and Garon's next-door neighbor. As Garon tracks a serial killer who strangles his child victims with a red ribbon, Garon avoids Grace-who may in fact may hold the key to catching the killer. Romance fans will savor Grace's indomitable spirit and quiet power over Garon, though mystery readers may find the resolution a foregone conclusion.
