Ezra King is on leave from the state police, but he can't escape the guilty memories that haunt his dreams. When he sees Lena, he is immediately drawn to her. He aches to touch her—to be touched by her—but is he too burdened by his tragic past to get close? When Ezra hears her story of an unknown woman's screams, his instincts tell him that Lena's life is also at risk—and his desire to protect her is as fierce as his need to possess her.

First of a projected romantic suspense trilogy, this hefty superheated exercise in uninhibited abandon alternates between a serial psycho-killer musing over his unlucky victims and a titillating fling between sexy blind chef Lena Riddle and sexier state cop Ezra King in smalltown Ash, Ky. Ezra, trying to recuperate from wounds to body and soul, is so attracted to Lena that he can’t help plunging into an informal investigation of screams she hears outside her rural home in the middle of the night. This allows Walker to introduce a grisly psychotic murder and swell her narrative with complicated subplots involving an abused wife, an incognito mystery author, and Lena’s ex-lover, the local prosecutor. Notwithstanding Walker’s heavy reliance on an adolescent vocabulary and stale plotting, romance audiences will likely simmer breathlessly along with her steamy leading characters.
