Description
A Missouri woman and a former lawman fight an obsessive serial killer in this romantic thriller series debut by the New York Times–bestselling author.

After the floods came the bodies. The victims—strangled, then buried along the shores of the Mississippi—have finally been unearthed, years after they disappeared. The killer remembers with satisfaction each woman he laid to rest. But there's only one he truly wanted. And fate has brought her within reach again.

Jaci Patterson was sixteen when she found the first golden locket on her porch. Inside were a few strands of hair wrapped around a scrap of bloodstained ribbon. Though the "gifts" kept arriving, no one believed her hunch that a serial killer was at work.

Back then, Rylan Cooper was an arrogant deputy sheriff convinced that Jaci was just an attention-seeking teen. Now he knows that ignoring her warnings was a fatal mistake. With Jaci back in town, the nightmare is starting once more. But this time, Rylan will do whatever it takes to keep her safe.

"Alexandra Ivy gives readers a nice balance of romance and suspense in her fast-paced, well-plotted novel." —Kat Martin, New York Times–bestselling author

        July 17, 2017
        Ivy (Charred by Darkness) sets up a satisfying mystery in this standalone contemporary romantic thriller. Heron, Mo., along the banks of the Mississippi River, is a typical Midwestern small town, but heavy flooding breaching the levees has brought with it something sinister: a decomposed body. For Jaci Patterson, the gruesome event brings back memories of a mysterious stalker who made her high school years a living hell. Past events become present-day distress when the stalker’s ghastly presents begin showing up at Jaci’s front door again. Sheriff Rylan Cooper, who once dismissed the stalker’s actions as tasteless pranks, now helps Jaci track down the clues to the killer. She’s drawn to him, but what if he has something to hide? Ivy’s clever foreshadowing keeps the tension high throughout this fast-moving tale, and the romance sizzles. Agent: Evan Marshall, Evan Marshall Agency.
