For some people, the untamed beauty of the bayou is a place to hide. For
Louisiana wildlife agent Jena Sinclair, it's a place of refuge--one
where she can almost forget the tragedy that scarred both her skin and
her soul. But when the remains of yet another fisherman turn up, Jena
realizes that Bayou Pointe-aux-Chenes is not safe for her...or anyone
else.
The mysterious deaths aren't her only problem. A dangerous drug known as
Black Diamond is circulating through Terrebonne Parish, turning addicts
into unpredictable sociopaths. Jena's investigation leads her to Cole
Ryan--a handsome, wary recluse struggling with his own troubled
history--who knows more than he's willing to admit. If they want to stop
the killer, Jena and Cole must step out of the shadows of their pasts
and learn to help each other...before the evils lurking in the bayou
consume them both.
