He dismembers his victims and leaves them in garbage bags in public places. A residential neighborhood. Next to a roller rink. Behind a Burger King. The investigation is a disaster. No physical evidence. Unreliable witnesses. To make matters worse, the FBI has lost contact with the star profiler working the case.

I first met the ridiculously handsome Danny Diamond at a party some 15 years ago. He had brilliant blue eyes, a sexy smirk, and a muscular body. We had a crazy, instant connection. So, I did what I had to do - threw myself in his direction and kissed him. And that kiss...was like a freaking fairy tale. At least it was until he stopped it because he was married. In my tipsy state, I replied with something cheesy like, "Don't promise me forever, just promise me tonight."
