Description

I'm afraid of death.

Working at a funeral home does things to people, and when my parents died, my fear stared me in the face.
I needed to start over and all but ran to a small, tired town in Utah.

I was told that the house I'd be renting would need a lot of work. Of course, I was up for the task because that meant a cheaper place to live. But no one told me about how bad it truly was – missing windows, pink toilets, yellow wallpaper. No one told me how the previous owner went missing and his blood stained the wood floors either.

Another thing I wasn't told? That a hot and broody handyman would be fixing it up with me. And the best part? He's fresh out of prison.

This wasn't how I expected this to go, to be working alongside Cole Garner, being reminded of my fear because he won't tell me why he was in prison. He harbors some dark secrets, and even though I shouldn't, I will figure them out. I just hadn't planned to fall for him while I was looking for answers.

Cole's past wasn't the only answers I discovered. Details of what happened to the previous owner arose and I'm forced into the truth of his murder. Even though I ran from it, death has no intention of leaving me alone.
