A Dark Lure by Loreth Anne White

Twelve years ago Olivia West escaped a brutal killer and helped put him behind bars where he died. The ordeal cost her marriage and child, and life as she knew it. Now, still struggling with PTSD and horrific scars, she's living under a new name and believes she's finally found sanctuary on Broken Bar Ranch.

But as the twelve year anniversary of her abduction nears and winter begins to close an icy fist around the Broken Bar wilderness, a dying cop's pledge for justice lures a killer out the woods. And when a fresh victim is found gutted and hanging from a tree, bearing startling similarities to the Watt Lake slaughters, Olivia must face the impossible—could the Watt Lake Killer be back? Or is it a copycat determined to finish the butcher's job.

Only one man can help her in the isolated wilderness setting—Cole McDonough, notorious adventurer and writer, heir to Broken Bar Ranch, a man as untamed and rugged as the mountains around them. A man with his own broken past.

But Cole also re-awakens something darker in Olivia, a smoldering desire, a need to be held. And she faces a choice: Can she expose herself, her scars, her horrific past, to this man? Can she learn to trust again? Or will her fear of intimacy—her shame—cost them both a second chance at love? Or worse, their lives?
