In the early hours of a chilly autumn morning, Harrison Lane races to shadowy Fenton Woods. Beneath an ash tree is the lifeless body of a young boy – four guttered candles surround him, a makeshift cross pushed into the earth nearby. Harrison tenses – who would want to hurt an innocent child?

As head of the police’s Ritualistic Behavioural Crime unit, Harrison uses his unique tracking skills to assess the scene. Some slips of paper inside the boy’s mouth – cryptic words written in the child’s own handwriting – gives him the first clue, as well as a link to a dilapidated chapel in nearby Nunhead Cemetery. Pulse racing, Harrison realises he’s been there before – as a child, his mother brought him just before she herself was murdered, her killer never caught.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been the dark to my sister’s light—the awkward loner to her social butterfly. Growing up, she had it all: our parent’s unyielding approval, perfect grades, a permanent spot at the popular table, and the attention of the hottest guy ever—Duke Kincaid.

After eighteen years of living in her shadow, I couldn’t wait to escape—to finally be my own person. Yet here I am, I’m back in my hometown, once again in Valorie’s shadow. Only now, it’s eternal.

At the urging of my friends, I agree to a blind date. Imagine my shock when I arrive and find, Valorie’s twin sister, waiting across the table from me. Mallory should be a reminder of all that I’ve lost, but instead she feels like my redemption . . . like maybe life’s giving me a second chance.

Now, twelve years later, Cole Taylor, singer of love songs, returns to the bayou. So much—for Claire—has changed. Yet she has found a private peace, such a fragile one that Cole’s very presence threatens her serenity. And now Cole is asking her to do the impossible, to come away with him to London. Claire knows he will break her heart again, but she will be with him, she has to be, for as long as she can.

Claire’s is not the only endangered heart in London. A murderer has sent Lady Sarah Pembroke an engraved Valentine invitation—to her own death. And is Claire’s girlhood friend afraid of the knife-wielding monster?
