Cynthia Eden

From a New York Times–bestselling author, a woman who has devoted her life to catching a sadistic killer finds a romantic ally in a fellow FBI agent.

Sheltered in the shadows of the Smoky Mountains is the suspect who’s summoned FBI agent Macey Night’s fears to the surface. Every day that the “Profiler,” a vigilante serial killer, escapes justice is another day she’s reminded of what it is to be a ruthless predator’s prey. Capturing him is a craving deeper than anything she’s felt in a long time. But Agent Bowen Murphy, equal parts sexy and volatile, seems hell-bent on changing that. Working together—needing, living and breathing each other—they’re entwined to distraction.

Bowen’s used to operating on impulse: act, don’t feel. Now Macey and the controlled terror behind her beautiful eyes have him rethinking everything, including his rule to never get close to a colleague. He’s willing to fight for a future with Macey, but the consequences of love could be deadly.

The Killer Instinct Novels

Into the Night

An FBI agent’s hunt for a killer resurrects ghosts from his past in a romantic thriller that “expertly twines terror and true love” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

Ex-Navy SEAL Tucker Frost has seen evil up close. His own brother Jason was a sadistic serial killer. A killer Tucker himself put down in order to save Jason’s final victim—Dawn Alexander, the only girl who got away from the infamous “Iceman.”

It’s Tucker’s personal experience with evil that makes him perfect for Samantha Dark’s experimental profiling division in the FBI. And when women start turning up murdered with the same MO used by the Iceman, Tucker is sent back to Louisiana to investigate.

Seven years have passed since Tucker faced down his brother . . . and since he last saw Dawn, his former lover. But as Tucker and Dawn grapple with a desire that never died, they must also face the terrifying thought that Jason Frost has somehow come back from the dead to hunt again . . .

Before the Dawn

A disgraced FBI profiler must stop a sadistic killer she knows all too well in the New York Times–bestselling author’s romantic thriller series debut. 

Former FBI agent Samantha Dark was one of the bureau’s star profilers, an expert on the twisted minds and dark hearts of depraved criminals. But when her own former lover turned out to be the serial killer she was hunting, Samantha’s career was destroyed. Blamed for the FBI’s failure on the complex case, Samantha left Washington, DC, for the quiet anonymity of Alabama.

Now an all-too-familiar killer is hunting once again. To catch the cunning assassin, she must put her trust in her former partner, Blake Gamble. Ex-military, Blake is tough, protective, precise. She knows he wants her back in the FBI . . . and possibly more. But someone else wants her, too. A threat is waiting in the dark, a killer who has set his sights on the ultimate trophy victim—Samantha.

This volume includes the novella The Gathering Dusk, a prequel to After the Dark.
