Lethal in Love

A past she can’t remember. A time the killer will never forget. And a man who’ll risk anything to discover the truth . . .

What Jayda Thomasz recalls of her childhood could fit into a 38mm shell-casing. Murky memories have melded into nightmares; the fire; the fear; the loss of her parents. And blood. So much blood.

Now a detective in Melbourne’s busy CBD, she has no time for relationships. A career won’t stab you in the back, or steal your dignity. Best she focus on keeping her beloved city safe and leave romance to the dreamers.

So when the Night Terror serial killer re-emerges after 25 years, she’ll do everything to keep her mind on the job and off the smooth-talking stranger who crosses the path of her investigation.

Reporter Seth Friedin is chasing the story that’ll make his career. But when he delves into the murders that have Victoria Police stumped, he never imagines he’ll be distracted by a hard-talking female detective whose kiss plagues his mind long after she’s gone.

Past experience has shown Jayda that reporters are ruthless and unscrupulous. But when the murders get personal, and the Night Terror threatens the lives of the ones she loves, will she make a deal with the devil to catch the killer?

Can she trust her instincts and trust the man behind the profession when her world is falling apart?
