Ava doesn't need anyone. Not the bastards hunting her down, not the ghosts of her past, and certainly not Marian Roe, the stupid-ass local who's suddenly tangled up in her mess. Ava's a specialist. She tracks and kills the supernatural for a living. No questions asked, no feelings involved. But when her past catches up to her, she's left on death's doorstep, only to be saved by Roe.

Now, with her every move shadowed by creatures that shouldn't exist, Ava's forced to stick close to Roe, who's more than she appears-and not in a good way. There's something off about her, something that grates against Ava's instincts. But there's no time to figure it out when they're on the run, dodging death and the worst of Oregon.

Ava knows she shouldn't care. She's got demon blood pulsing through her veins, a body that craves in ways she can barely control, and a temper that's just one bad day away from tearing everything apart. But Roe? Roe's got under her skin, and not just because she's a pain in the ass. The lines between ally and liability blur, and Ava's worst fears are confirmed: she's getting attached.
