Solitude that his pesky kitchen assistant and neighbor has invaded. When Mia discovers a body with a wrist singed with the same markings burned into his own flesh, Chet is sucked back into a past he'd give anything to forget.When the killer leaves threatening messages for Mia, Chet can't turn his back--even if being near her opens his barricaded heart in a way he never expected. Or wanted. He'd give his own life rather than see someone else he cares for murdered. When the stakes are raised, neither Mia or Chet may make it out alive. less
