Chloe Hastings doesnât like rules, and she doesnât exactly play well with others. But she does have one amazing talentâshe can get into the mind of killers like no one else. A police consultant and profiler, Chloe is definitely not like anyone that Joel Landry has ever encountered. From the moment they meetâin the middle of a bank robberyâshe throws him off balance and pulls him under spell. She seems to have no fear, she plots constantly, andâĻJoel quickly finds himself trapped in her web.
She needs a new partnerâĻand heâs just the man for the job.
Thereâs a sadistic killer hunting in the streets of New Orleans, and Chloe plans to catch him. First, though she needs a partner she can trust, and sheâs decided that Dr. Joel Landry is the best fit for the job. Sure, he has a dark past. The doctor was attacked by a serial killer, but Joel survived while his attacker did not. Now the ruggedly handsome doctor has turned to the shadows. Heâs learned how to hunt, how to fight, how to kill in a thousand brutal waysâin short, heâs acquired all of the skills that Chloe absolutely adores in a man.
Heâs exactly what she wants. She could become the only thing he needs.
Together, they should be a perfect fit. She knows the minds of criminals better than anyone else, and Joel can protect her from any threat that comes their way. Theyâll have one hell of a time tracking down the bad guys, provided Chloe and Joel donât kill each other first. Another unanticipated twist for the new partners? Their attraction to each other is explosive, their desire uncontrollable. One reckless kiss seals their fate, and their need wonât be denied. And neither will the killer who waits for his moment to attack.
Once you step into a spiderâs web, there is no going back.
Authorâs Note: Chloe Hastings always has a plan in play. Her investigations are unusual, her friends are generally on the shady side, and her social skills? Well, those are pretty much non-existent. But Chloe solves every case that crosses her path, and she never, ever backs down. When she teams up with her new partner, all bets are off. Joel is gorgeous, sinful, and about to break through every wall that Chloe possesses. Heâll fight for her, sheâll fight for him, and the criminals in their path had better get ready. There is a new crime-solving team in town.
