She’s a small-town girl with a secret. He’s a city cop with a tortured past.

When Nico Dominici hangs up his detective badge and transfers to a remote island off the coast of Maine, he thinks he’s made the right move. But then young women start turning up dead in eerily similar circumstances to a bad case he had back in the city—the same one he’s running from—and things take a dark turn.

And then there’s her… Lexie Bowen: the woman he never forgot. Lexie has lived in Mercy Cove all her life.

She’s happy, or at least she would be if her possessive ex wasn’t constantly trying to cause her trouble. Now, her beloved town has become the target of a vicious killer, and the sexy new Lieutenant just happens to be the same man she saved from a car wreck over a year ago.

As danger closes in from all sides, Nico and Lexie grow close. But when personal questions start to emerge and Nico’s motives for coming to the island become clear, Lexie is forced to confront demons from her own past she’d rather have left buried.

If you enjoy slow-burn romance, thrilling suspense, quaint island towns, and a dash of police procedurals, then you won’t want to miss this captivating first installment of the Mercy Cove Series!. .
