Former Air Force Combat Rescue Officer, Rafe Cross, has seen it all, not only while in uniform but as an operative on the elite Maverick Ops security team that has a reputation of doling out hard justice. However, nothing could have prepared him for his current assignment in his hometown of Canyon Ridge, Texas. When bones are unearthed in a shallow grave, Rafe and the town's sheriff, Bree O'Neil, are convinced they've stumbled upon the remains of their long-lost friend, and the discovery not only threatens to tear the town apart, but it also spurs a killer to come after them. Sheriff Bree O'Neil is a third generation cop who's dedicated her life to keeping her town safe. She's never let her guard down, until Rafe Cross comes crashing back into her life. With each passing day, their once-buried feelings for one another reignite, setting their world ablaze. But as they inch closer to the truth, a relentless killer emerges from the shadows, determined to bury the past and anyone who dares to uncover it.
