Dead to the Max: A Dark Paranormal Mystery with a Slow-Burn Romance (Max Starr Series, Book 1)

Some secrets refuse to stay buried. And some loves refuse to let go.

Max Starr lives with ghosts—one of them her dead husband. Max just can’t let him go. Grief has become her shadow, but so have her visions: flashes of violence, whispers from the dead, and the icy certainty that evil is watching.

With the visions getting stronger—darker—more dangerous—her vision of a brutal murder pulls her into Detective Witt Long’s investigation. Now Max is suddenly caught between fear and desire. Witt is everything she doesn’t need: relentless, infuriating, and far too tempting—but he may be the only man who can keep her alive. Their attraction burns slow and dangerous, tangled with suspicion, secrets. And the kind of attraction that could be the ruin of them both.

But a cunning predator is circling closer, weaving Max into his twisted game. To survive, she’ll have to confront her deepest fears, her haunted past, and a villain who craves her suffering almost as much as her silence.

In a world where love lingers beyond the grave and killers stalk in darkness, only danger—and passion—are certain. 

Darkly sensual and relentlessly suspenseful, Dead to the Max is the first book in the Max Starr series—a paranormal romance where desire cuts sharp as a knife, and danger waits in every shadow.
