Anne is also forced to deal with Colin Fitzgerald—a bold local lawyer trying to find the culprit despite her objections. He makes her desire a life she couldn’t possibly have. Not with him. Not without robbing him of the normal life she still yearns for.
As the killer moves from animal mutilations to human, it’s clear that this creature is beyond even Anne’s experience. She and Colin must catch their mysterious culprit before it takes any more victims while keeping their feelings for each other at bay. But is the monster really after the local farmers or someone else entirely? And even if they can save the day and each other, how is Anne supposed to save Colin from herself?
