From the moment I step on the plane from New York to South Carolina, I go from Mark Abbott, hated quarterback, to Mark Hainley, unassuming small-town boy on his way to a tiny beach town and a private resort for a two-week escape all alone. At least, that's the plan. Until I sit down next to football-oblivious and possibly crazy Frannie Baker on my flight.

From her fear of flying to her comforting herself with Eminem lyrics to her love of books, I can't help but want to know more.

When Pepper Woods left Hideaway Springs nearly a decade ago, it was good riddance. The polished homecoming queen and class president was far too 'city girl' for my likes. And I couldn't have cared less when she got engaged to the President's son. I barely even noticed. But now she's back, racing into the only inn in town, with a veil tucked under her arm and running shoes on her feet, ranting like it's the end of the world when my father tells her we're fully booked. I should walk away. I've got practice in one hour and I'm not going to let Perfect Pepper distract me.

Its escape should be impossible, and yet, here we are.

Out of all the diners in all the small towns, he had to walk into mine. Aiden Shelborne has left his Army days long behind. He's out of the warrior business.

Now, with a snowstorm bearing down, she's stuck with him. Some in Hartley have secrets worth killing for. In the battle to keep them both safe, Aiden might lose the heart he's kept on lockdown.

I'm dead. Or at least I was. Until I got the opportunity to return to the life I was abruptly torn away from. It's a no-brainer as far as I'm concerned. I'm not done living yet. The catch? Become a Soul Chaser. Hunt down the Horrors, deadly souls that escaped The Below, and return them to the depths where they belong.

When she shows up at my door two weeks ahead of schedule because she needs me, I decide to test the waters and see if fate is finally pulling us together after all these years.

My life is already a balancing act—law school, my band, and hiding who I am from my father. Being gay isn't part of his perfect plan, so I keep my secrets locked down tight. Then he sends Jeremy. He's supposed to be my bodyguard. My shadow. My problem. But he's also too observant, too stubborn, and way too damn attractive. He follows me everywhere, watching me like I'm worth protecting. And the more time we spend together, the harder it is to pretend I don't want him. Because if my father finds out? I won't just lose my future, I'll lose everything.

My life is finally starting to fall into place. My band is leveling up. We're playing bigger gigs. And I'm one step away from landing my dream job, even if it means leaving everything behind. Including him. Ryder Scott has always been my best friend. The one constant. The one person I've never stopped wanting… even when I knew I couldn't have him. Because he was straight.

The thing is, he's deeply troubled, and he's got one nasty spirit haunting him. The Deceiver taunting his thoughts is more powerful than any Horror I've faced before, and the more I get to know Keagan, the more concerned I am that I can pull him back from the darkness.
