The architect of fear employs many forms.

She woke up in a cage…

Underground.

Kidnapping and murder never crossed Kaylee’s mind when seeking a fresh start in Portland, a new beginning to shed the remnants of tragedy dogging her steps. After escaping an underground prison, she fights to stay one step ahead of the killer bent on silencing his only witness. Kaylee.

Two months after dodging a serial killer’s best efforts, Caden McAllister flounders within a social sink hole, unable to move forward, too stubborn to step back. Guarded and wary, the private investigator’s stagnant lifestyle detonates into chaos when a battered and bloody young waif stumbles into his care.

Framed for a murdering a past lover, Caden must clear his name and overcome his charge’s doubts while keeping her out of the sex-trafficking trade. When betrayal ends with Kaylee’s re-capture, he must conquer his past and risk all or lose the one he has come to love.

Murder, mystery, underground tunnels, and romance intertwine in this standalone romantic thriller, the second installment of the McAllister Justice Series.
