When darkness comes to claim you, do you run–or step into the light, daring it to catch you? Forensic pathologist Harper Rayn is no stranger to darkness. In the cold silence of Blackstone’s one and only morgue, she’s seen it all . . . or so she thought. But then the bodies on her autopsy table start speaking, revealing chilling messages meant only for her, and she quickly realizes she’s playing a twisted game she never intended to play. She’s intrigued, but if she takes one wrong step, it’s game over. And as the line between fear and obsession blurs, what began as desire shifts into a terrifying, murderous lust, the strings being pulled by a cryptic masked killer with one unforgiving intention: to claim Harper as his own–dead or alive. Fear sends her spiraling into the arms of delicious SWAT team leader Knight Slater. He’s everything Harper’s ever desired but shouldn’t. As her step-uncle, he’s more than off limits. But she draws him in anyway, and soon, protecting her becomes more than just his duty. It’s a relentless need. As the game becomes ever deadlier, Harper must decide: Is she ready to risk it all for her heart, even if she could literally die trying?
