[The Keepers 03] • Dead Little Darlings

For twenty-five years, the mystery of the missing Darling sisters has gone

unsolved. Now it’s time for answers…

Traumatized as a child when she witnessed a grisly murder, Marilyn Ellis kept

silent for fear she and her mother would become targets of a cold-blooded

killer.

But guilt and nightmares have plagued her ever since that stormy night. Her

silence allowed a predator to go free, a predator who may have killed others.

A predator who may be on the hunt again.

As a topnotch investigative reporter, she will do anything to find the

answers, including using her ruggedly sexy lover, Detective Ryker Brocket, for

information.

She and Ryker make a good team in and out of bed. But can she trust him with

her darkest secrets?

Detective Ryker Brocket has devoted his life to solving crimes and chasing

killers. Sure, feisty reporter Marilyn Ellis inflames his passion, but he has

no time for love.

Then Marilyn becomes the main suspect in one of his high-profile murder cases,

and their professional and personal lives collide.

Clues lead them back to the cold case he’s working and the disappearance of

the Darling sisters. And even though he’s suspicious of her, he feels

compelled to keep her safe.

Then Marilyn becomes the killer’s prime target, and Ryker will risk his

life—and his heart—to protect her.

But can he save her from the crazed killer who wants her dead and win her

love?
