In Sedona’s red rock canyons, a former reporter must piece together her shattered memories in time to stop a killer in this cat-and-mouse thriller, perfect for fans of CJ Box and Anne Hillerman.

After a disastrous mistake ended her career as a crime reporter, Del Cooper returns to Sedona and takes a gig with a down-on-its-luck tour company while she rebuilds her life. Her peaceful small-town escape ends when, hiking in a remote red rock canyon, she finds the broken body of a murdered man.

At first, she believes the murder is connected to a proposed land trade that will pave the way for a luxury development on the edge of town, but it seems money isn’t the killer’s only motive. As she digs deeper, she uncovers the small town’s darkest secrets, all leading her to Lee Ranch, a former filming location for Western movies. Two women disappear after Del interviews them, and rumors begin to spin faster than Sedona’s famed energy vortexes. But she knows the truth: Someone is watching her from the shadows.

But the moment she’s claimed, escape is the last thing she wants.

Each night, she gets a little freer… until they decide to trade her like a pawn to end their war.
So she runs—knowing she shattered her own heart to save it.

If you love dark romance, obsession, captivity-to-devotion vibes, and a “can’t hate them” twist, read this. 🖤🩸

Two sides. Two cages. One mistake that becomes an obsession.
Holden was literally trained to hunt—until the man he thinks he’s pursuing walks straight into her trap.
Hollis is a cop with a missing boyfriend and no patience for “process”—and the more she fights, the more she realizes she’s being dismantled to create something new.
Ruthless chase. Power games. And love that might be survival—or the final lock.
