About this book

Investigator Brenna Jensen's peaceful life in Riverton, North Dakota is disrupted when a serial killer brings violence to her quiet town. Relentless and determined, she refuses to back down despite the killer's taunts. When FBI agent Nick Tarver arrives to assist with the investigation, his presence complicates her resolve to maintain distance. His dedication and intensity prove difficult to ignore. As snow melts and the river rises, the body count increases. The case becomes personal when Brenna discovers her own name on the killer's list. With time running out, she must work with Nick's expertise and their developing connection to survive a dangerous confrontation with the killer. This edition has been completely revised and expanded from its previous publication as Dakota Meltdown, with additional romance and plot developments.
