Evil Returns

When his murderous brother escapes a psychiatric prison, Deputy Trevor Bolton must confront the monster from his past—or die at his hands.

Evil Returns is a chilling psychological thriller with a romantic edge, perfect for fans of obsession, dark family secrets, and relentless suspense.

Twenty years ago, Deputy Trevor Bolton barely survived a brutal attack by his brother, Troy, a remorseless killer who left Trevor scarred in body and soul. Trevor thought the nightmare ended when Troy was locked away in a psychiatric prison.

He was wrong.

Now Troy has escaped—and he’s back in Misty Hollow, leaving behind cryptic threats, knives on pillows, and a trail of fresh victims killed with the same cold precision as before. As fear grips the quiet town, Trevor realizes the past has returned to claim him.

Sheriff Shea Callahan, Misty Hollow’s determined new sheriff, doesn’t believe in ghosts—but she knows evil when she sees it. Together, Shea and Trevor must unravel the twisted patterns of a killer who always seems one step ahead. But as their partnership turns into a slow-burn romance, Trevor fears that loving Shea puts her directly in his brother’s crosshairs.

Because Troy isn’t just hunting Trevor—he’s playing a sadistic game designed to break him before the final kill.

Taut with psychological suspense, small-town terror, family betrayal, and heart-pounding romance, Evil Returns will grip fans of Lisa Jackson, Melinda Leigh, and Allison Brennan from the first page to the shocking climax.
