Dallas Police Detective Cinnamon Monroe is relentlessly hunting the sadistic serial killer whose latest victim was her best friend. She's on edge and she wants revenge—and one way or another, she's going to have it.

Dane Nicholson is a wealthy man with a dark, tragic past—one he's trying with all his might to keep from destroying his future. He soon learns, however, that some secrets refuse to remain hidden...unfortunately.

When Dane and Cinnamon accidentally meet, passionate sparks fly. Neither is looking for more than a one-night stand, but they can't deny their crippling attraction. For good or ill, their lives quickly become inextricably entwined, as if they were meant to be. However, their fledgling relationship soon finds itself in terrible jeopardy when irrefutable evidence is uncovered suggesting Dane is the killer Cinnamon is tracking!

After years of distrusting men and running as far away from a serious relationship as she could get, has fate been so cruel as to make Cinnamon fall for  a psychopath—worst than that...her best friend's murderer?
