About the book

On a routine geological dig for her company, Layla Black didn’t expect to witness a murder, let alone be the only witness. Alone in the desert and on the run from a serial killer, she must use her wits and skills to outrun a dangerous man.

Help arrives in the form of FBI agent Alex Douglass, who just wanted to enjoy his vacation. Together they must survive the harsh Nevada desert in the middle of summer, caught between the government’s needs and a killer who hates to lose. Counting on one another draws them together.

Can they depend on each other through a danger they barely understand and a rising passion they aren’t prepared for?
