About this ebook

In New York Times bestselling author Cynthia Eden’s latest novel, the Last Option Search Team (LOST) returns— and for one agent, the hunt for a serial killer just got very personal . . .

HE SWORE TO PROTECT HER . . .

Bailey Jones somehow survived her harrowing abduction by the infamous Death Angel. But while her physical scars have healed, she can’t stop wondering about a woman she helped to escape, who simply disappeared. When LOST agent Asher Young is assigned to her case, Bailey instantly feels an attraction to the intense ex-SEAL who seems to be carrying dark secrets of his own.

BUT KEEPING HIS PROMISE . . .

Asher can’t afford to let his growing feelings for Bailey distract him from his job. Only she can soothe his horrific nightmares, but the last thing he wants is for the demons from his past to ever hurt her. Bailey has gotten past his guard, and the emotions he feels for her—they’re as dark and dangerous as the past he doesn’t want to face.

COULD COST BOTH THEIR LIVES

When corpses begin surfacing—all marked with the same tattoo depicting the Death Angel’s calling card—Asher must race to stop a twisted killer who wants nothing more than to claim his next prize: Bailey . . .

Ratings and reviews

Danger and constant fear. Bailey has been living her life in this state since she escaped the serial killer known as the Death Angel. She is the only known survivor of this monster but Bailey knows there could be another woman out there, a woman she remembers seeing before she was rescued, a woman who has never been found. Now Bailey must face her fears and help find this woman and hopefully save her but to do so she needs help. The police don’t believe her when she says there was another woman so she turns to LOST (Last Option Search Team) for help. Asher Young is an ex-navy SEAL who now works for LOST. He has an extremely protective nature due to some of his own ghost and when he is assigned to work on Bailey’s case those instincts immediately kick in along with a powerful attraction to the beautiful and frightened woman. He sees past Bailey’s frightened exterior down to the brave and courageous woman who refuses to let someone else suffer the same tragedies as her. This book was a fabulous suspenseful read. These two characters are both beautifully broken but through traumatic events they can find love and security in each other. While hard for Bailey to completely trust Asher to protect her and keep her safe she can’t help but to relax and trust in the man she is falling for. A great addition to the series and a great book for anyone who loves romantic suspense novels. I received an eARC of this book compliments of the publisher in exchange for my honest review and opinion. All ratings and opinions stated re my own.
