As for Ethan, he has spent the last two years keeping a careful distance—ever since the day Beth stopped being “just” Chase Hudson’s little sister and became something he couldn’t look away from. He knows exactly what she is—smart, stubborn, out of his league—and he knows heartache is the only thing waiting if he stops pretending otherwise.
Then someone starts leaving flowers Beth didn’t ask for. Photographs she didn’t pose for. Pieces of her own life, returned to her, ruined. Ethan ends up parked on her couch because there’s no one else to do it, and the distance he’s kept for two years falls apart.
The story Beth is chasing—the altars burned into the fields, the people quietly going missing on moonless nights—isn’t running alongside the stalking. It’s the same story. And by the time she understands how it’s connected, the hunter’s deadly net has already closed around her.
Hunted is the second book in the Olman County Series. Told in dual POV, it's a small-town romantic suspense set in fictional Leroy, Indiana—a town full of meddling friends and family and the kind of secrets people go missing over. It's a grumpy-sunshine romance between a wrong-side-of-the-tracks detective with a secret and the small-town newspaper reporter who has loved him in secret since she was old enough to know better. Every argument is cover for feelings neither will admit to—until a stalker turns her story into a hunt.
