About the book: year / His mission: to get closer to Alice May. Find out her secrets. Expose her lies. And if she is guilty... put her away. Undercover FBI agent Zander Todd typically spends his days and nights tracking down killers. However, lately he has been pretending to be someone else. He infiltrates the life of the beautiful but withdrawn Alice May. He is expected to do everything to make her trust him completely. Alice is the key to a serial murder case that the FBI has been working on for several years. She is also the main suspect. Alice was engaged to Hugh Collins, a man who turned out to be an elusive killer called "The Secret Admirer." Hugh chose women whom he considered ideal, he seduced them, and when it turned out that they corresponded to his ideas of perfection... the “Secret Admirer” brutally killed them. The only time Hugh changed his ways was with Alice. Hugh was on his way to the chapel to marry Alice when the FBI killed him. The FBI had long suspected that Alice may have been involved in the murders, but they were never able to find hard evidence to link her to the crimes. Her goal: to bury the past. Pretend to be someone else. Living a lie. Alice May knows better than anyone that you can't trust an attractive man with a seductive smile. The last time she fell in love with a charmer, she found out that her lover was a serial killer. This is not the news a woman expects to hear on her own wedding day. After this brutal revelation, she renounced men, is forced to hide from insatiable reporters, and does not allow herself to get close to anyone. But... a year has passed since her life fell apart. And it's so hard to be alone all the time. She thought that one night, one date with Zander could remind her of what it meant to be alive. Feel normal. The passion that flared up between them is white-hot and electrifying. So intense that it scares Alice. She never expected to ever want someone so much. He will punish her. Their passion ignites the rage of the killer, who is watching her, waiting for her. A man who finally decided that Alice was anything but perfect. And if she is not perfect, then she must die. When Alice's life is threatened, Zander will have to reveal to her who he really is. A new betrayal will cause significant damage to Alice's soul, but when Zander takes her under his protection, they will be forced to be in close proximity to each other. Alice has no choice but to trust Zander, with a killer watching her every move, as her past is alive and Alice isn't as careful... as she should be..
