Her Sleuth

She spent years crushing on him. Now she's all grown up—and impossible to ignore. FBI agent Sean Malone thought returning to Whisper, North Carolina, would be a chance to reconnect with family and enjoy life at a slower pace. Instead, he finds himself face-to-face with Grace Whitman, the tomboy who once followed him and his brothers everywhere. Only Grace isn't a kid anymore. She's smart, successful, beautiful, and stirring up feelings Sean never expected. Opening a business in the coastal town where she spent her childhood summers feels like the fresh start Grace has been searching for. Reconnecting with Sean is an unexpected bonus—one that quickly rekindles the feelings she's carried for years. As Sean and Grace grow closer, the investigation into a serial killer takes an increasingly disturbing turn. With local law enforcement stretched thin, Sean is drawn deeper into the hunt for a killer before another woman disappears. But when the case collides with his personal life, he'll have to risk everything to protect the future he's only just begun to imagine. Can Sean stop a killer before it's too late, or will the woman he's finally ready to claim be taken from him forever?
