Marlena is terrified. For weeks, a serial killer has terrorized her town, murdering women and stripping them of their favorite piece of jewelry. But the most terrifying thing of all is that those pieces of jewelry have all appeared as beautifully wrapped gifts on Marlena's door and she has no idea who is leaving them for her or why. The only thing she knows for sure: that she's next on his list. With a serial killer on the loose in his town, Sheriff Dante Valtrez has his hands full, especially when Marlena shows up on his doorstep, afraid and alone, with evidence that ties her directly to the murders. She couldn't have committed the crimes herself, but Dante doesn't trust this mysterious beauty. When the violence escalates and strange and inexplicable things start happening in the town...and to Marlena, Dante can't deny that there's more than just human evil at work and that Marlena is the target. As desire binds them together and an otherworldly force threatens to tear them apart, can Dante save them both before it's too late?
