One by one, people are mysteriously disappearing from a small Maine town.
Four months ago, a ruthless murderer killed two people and kidnapped three more, including Danny Sullivan’s sister, who barely escaped. Unfortunately so did the killer, vanishing without a trace into the vast wilderness. When the police fail to find his sister's captor, Danny returns to Maine to hunt him down.
He begins his search with another survivor, bed and breakfast owner Mandy Brown, but her refusal to cooperate raises Danny’s suspicions. What is the beautiful innkeeper hiding?
Mandy Brown has a secret. But sexy Danny Sullivan, his relentless questions, and the desire that simmers between them threaten to expose the truth. A revelation that puts her family in danger. As more people disappear, it becomes clear the killer is planning another ritual…and that he’s circling in on Mandy.
Review
"Leigh takes us on a roller coaster ride of terror in this equally frightening and romantic story. Readers will escape into the little Northeast town with big secrets and will be surprised by what the author has planned next with each turn of the page. Her vast imagination will have suspense fans cheering, but some of the characters are complex—almost cryptic. All in all, a great read with a plot so thick, it can be cut with a knife." —RT Book Reviews, 4 stars
"Leigh's deft hand with crafting real-life characters shines, especially in her honest dialogue. She easily brings the Maine landscape to life and her descriptions of the inn and Mandy's daily tasks of running it are detailed enough to draw the rooms around you but short enough not to bog you down in the wainscoting." —Kiersten Hallie Krum, Heroes and Heartbreakers
