When 21-year-old Ivy Lennox stumbles into a blood-soaked hotel room and finds her best friend murdered, her life becomes a waking nightmare. Wracked with guilt and trauma, Ivy soon discovers that her friend's death is not an isolated case-it's part of a string of murders stretching across the city, all targeting blonde young women.
Assigned to the case is Detective Elias Ward-sharp, brooding, and doggedly obsessed with justice. As he digs deeper, Elias uncovers a web of power, lies, and horror that reaches higher than he ever imagined. The deeper they go, the more dangerous it gets-for both of them.
What begins as a murder investigation becomes a desperate race against time to expose a powerful killer hiding in plain sight. But when desire entangles with fear, and secrets threaten to destroy the ones they love, can Ivy and Elias trust each other long enough to survive?
Or will she be the next victim in the killer's twisted fantasy?
