Heartbreaker
In the still shadows of the confessional, the penitent kneels and makes a bone-chilling
disclosure: Bless me father, for I will sin.... Slowly, tauntingly, the man describes
his murderous past--how he stalked his victim, worked his way into her life, and then
took that life in a violent rage--and his plan to kill again. Only this time, he has
raised the stakes in his twisted game, daring authorities to catch him if they can.
This time, he has revealed the name of his next intended victim. I'm a heartbreaker.
And I do so love a challenge....
Agent Nick Buchanan has come face-to-face with society's worst monsters and
depraved minds in his work for one of the FBI's most elite units. He's about to
take a much needed vacation from his high-stress job when he's called on to stop the
killer who has mockingly confessed to the deadly crime he's going to commit.
Nick can't refuse--for this time the threat has hit close to home. The intended
victim is his best friend's sister. Soon he is caught up in an intricate chase with
one of the most devious psychopaths of his career--in a case that suddenly,
unexpectedly, pulls him in like no other.
Laurant Madden found a home and a sense of security when she moved into the
small Iowa town of Holy Oaks--but her contented life is shaken to the core as a
cagey predator closes in on her. Her brother, Tom, insists that she turn to the
only man he trusts to help her: Nick Buchanan. As an electrifying attraction grows
between Laurant and Nick, so does the danger--and one false move will cost both of
them everything that matters.
