Dr. Josh Compton had obsessed for more than three years about stopping the serial killer known only as The Ghost. But that monster was always two steps ahead of him. The hunt was starting to take over his life. The only thing that mattered to him was his position with the Complex Crimes Unit of the FBI:PAVAD division and stopping The Ghost.

And then The Ghost decided to come after him...

Dr. Kelly Reynolds spent most of her time trying to figure out just where she fit into the new normal she'd found in St. Louis, with the FBI:PAVAD division and the family she'd reunited with. With the friends she was making. Maybe she'd eventually open up enough to let a few of those friends in...if she didn't fall victim to a crazed serial killer first.

Josh would protect Kelly with everything he had, even if that meant staying close to the woman who only saw him as a friend...
