Some secrets don't stay buried. They just wait for the water to rise. Seven years ago, Sheriff Tessa Ruiz did the hardest thing she's ever done: she turned in the only man she ever loved. Now a body turns up at the ruins of the old glassworks — posed like the work of a serial killer who's been dead for years — with Nathan Corbett's name left on the corpse like a promise. To catch a killer who's turning Hollow Creek's darkest chapter into a blueprint for murder, Tessa has no choice but to bring Nathan home. But the closer they get to the truth, the clearer it becomes: someone has been watching them both for a very long time — and he isn't finished. As old wounds reopen and the body count climbs, Tessa and Nathan are forced to face everything that drove them apart: the lies, the betrayal, and the love neither of them ever really let go of. Because this time, surviving the case might mean losing each other for good. A gripping, slow-burn romantic suspense novel about buried secrets, second chances, and the price of the truth. CROSSCURRENT is Book Two in the Hollow Creek series. Start with Undercurrent, or dive straight in — this small-town thriller stands strong on its own.
