She called him with blood on her hands. He answered like he’d been waiting for her all his life.

Remington Spade knows exactly what the world will see when they find her husband dead on the floor of their island home. An open-and-shut murder case with her name written all over it.

And maybe they’re right.

She remembers the rage. The blood. The awful certainty that she finally became the monster she’d feared was inside her.

There is only one person she trusts enough to call. Everett, the man she loved before one brutal night destroyed them both. The man she never stopped wanting. The man who once walked away because he thought leaving was the only way to save her.

This time, Everett doesn’t leave.

Former DEA Agent Everett Gilliam has spent years paying for the last time he chose duty over Remington. When she calls him, covered in blood and begging for help, he refuses to walk away again.

He hides her. Protects her. Risks everything for her.

But the more Everett uncovers, the less Remi’s confession makes sense. The evidence says she killed her husband. The one thing she can’t remember is doing it. To find the truth, they’ll have to face the betrayal that tore them apart years ago and the enemy using her husband’s murder to finish the job.

The police are closing in.
The past is coming for them.

And Everett will have to break every rule he lives by to save the woman he lost once from a killer who doesn’t plan to leave either of them alive.

Everett is Book 4 in the Stingray Security Series, a thrilling protector romance with pulse-pounding suspense, sizzling sensuality, dangerous secrets, and a second-chance love worth risking everything for. It can be read as a stand-alone.

About the author

Angel Vane

Angel never imagined she’d stumble into becoming an author. An avid fan of books her whole life combined with an active imagination were the right ingredients to embark on a single goal of completing one book. She knew she had stories in her head, but getting those out into words on paper was daunting to say the least.

Her earliest memories of trying to write a novel was a story inspired by the 1990’s movie starring Jean-Claude Van Damme called Lion Heart. She still has the 14-page first chapter, printed on blue paper, in her file cabinet as a reminder of where the seed of writing first began.

Angel loves action, thrillers and suspense as well as classic love stories penned by the likes of Jane Austen and Danielle Steele. Her writing blends the two in what she’s dubbed “Crime Thrillers for Women” — showcasing stories where female protagonists find their lives intersecting with criminals as they juggle trying to find love and save their own lives at the same time.

Angel resides in Tomball and is a brain-washed, card carrying Texan!

Angel did it again. Just when I think I know the plot, she mixes it all up. This book and this series keeps getting better. I love Everett & Remi and their dynamics.
