Jocelyn Rutledge
Mourning his pregnant wife’s murder, Painter Jakob Anderson has led a hermit-like existence for more than a year when his world is rocked by another killing.
Lily Chen has come to the Olympic Mountains for a make-or-break vacation with her charming, yet volatile fiancé. In her heart, Lily knows the relationship is over, but familial pressures have kept her tied to the powerful heir she’s starting to despise.
Unable to forget her fiancé’s past indiscretions, Lily withdraws and starts exploring the beautiful mountainscape alone. When she meets Jakob, she’s immediately drawn to him despite his reluctance to engage with her. At first, Jakob tries to ignore Lily. However, their relationship blossoms quickly and for the first time in a long time, he allows himself to be happy.
When two more women turn up dead, Jakob is once again a suspect, but Lily stands by his side.
As Jakob and Lily fall in love, their excitement is dampened by a pall of dread that engulfs the town. The killer is still out there, and now he has turned his sights on Lily.
Is her faith in Jakob justified or is Lily blinded by love?
Will Jakob find the killer and bring him to justice? Or will Lily become the next victim?
