Everyone has demons. Jessica Meeks knows-because hers never stopped hunting her.
For eleven years, she's lived a lie. Once, she was Julia Mikkelsen-beautiful, wealthy, and dangerously naïve. One night with the wrong man shattered everything. Now, she lives in hiding, haunted by choices that won't stay buried.
When a violent message shatters her fragile peace, Jessica is forced on the run-this time, under the reluctant protection of Deputy U.S. Marshal Ryan Inglis. He's cold, controlled, and bound by duty. But as they tear across the storm-ravaged South, pursued by a relentless killer, the air between them grows as charged as the sky. Lightning flashes. Tension ignites. And fear turns to something far more dangerous.
Her enemies are closing in. The past she buried isn't just coming back-it holds a secret that could destroy them both.
She can run. But in the eye of the storm, there may be nowhere left to hide.
