As Night Falls

Desire Can Be Deadly

When college professor Abby Youngblood returns to Abundance, New York, all she wants is to escape the pain of the past few months. But the peaceful upstate village is not what she remembers, and neither is her aunt's estate--now crumbling from years of neglect. Even more disturbing is the carriage house's new tenant, an unruly, unpredictable--and undeniably attractive--author named Matthew Monroe.

Enticed by his intoxicating sensuality, Abby knows that Matthew is dangerous to her battered spirit--and to her vulnerable heart. She never suspects that he could also be dangerous to her life, until a young woman seen in his company is found strangled to death. Then another young woman is murdered the same way. Just like the first victim, she had a connection to Matt.

Though Abby desperately wants to believe Matt is innocent, his need to hide his past suddenly raises frightening questions. Searching for the truth, she is drawn into the mystery surrounding him, unaware that someone is watching her...wanting her...waiting to relive his twisted fantasy of death--with Abby as his next victim.
