The Wraith
Not yet published
Expected 1 Oct 26She hunts monsters. He's hunting her. Neither of them planned on falling in love.
Riley Locke has spent years learning how monsters think.
By day, she's a twenty-two-year-old psychology student with a sharp mouth, a complicated past, and more secrets than anyone realizes.
By night, she's The Wraith.
Riley hunts the predators the system fails to stop—and makes certain they never get another victim.
She has rules. She has two blades. And she has no intention of getting caught.
Then Detective Sebastian Ashcroft walks into her life.
At thirty-four, Sebastian knows when someone is lying to him.
Riley Locke is definitely lying.
She's also brilliant, infuriating, unexpectedly funny, and increasingly impossible for him to stay away from.
There's only one problem.
Sebastian is investigating the very killer Riley has worked so hard to keep hidden.
As his investigation begins connecting seemingly unrelated crimes, Riley's carefully divided worlds start collapsing into each other. What begins as a hunt for predators leads to buried records, missing children, powerful people—and secrets tied to Riley's own past.
Someone knows who the Wraith is.
And someone knows far more about Riley's past than they should.
Riley is about to discover that becoming the monster monsters fear may have been only the beginning.
He wants the truth.
She needs her secrets.
And somewhere between suspicion and desire, they become the one thing neither of them can afford to lose.
The Wraith is Book One of the Broken Halos Duet, a dark romantic suspense featuring a vigilante heroine, detective love interest, morally gray characters, an age gap, slow-burn tension, sharp banter, buried secrets, and hidden family history.
Book One ends on a cliffhanger.

Review of advance copy received from Author
I received this as an arc from the author and it was incredible. Kept me reading until the wee hours of the morning. Definitely looking forward to what else this author releases.
