She placed her final bet on a man who had already lost his soul.
Deputy Kat Burgess is drowning—in debt, in grief, and in the suffocating silence of a lonely life. Then she meets Will Cousins, a failed rock star trapped in a violent marriage to a wealthy woman. He’s handsome and vulnerable, and he looks at Kat in a way that should bother her, but doesn’t.
It starts with a minor violation of protocol. It turns into an illicit affair. It ends with a wild gamble to remove the only obstacle between the lovers and their supposed dreams.
But in the cold light of day, nothing is as it once seemed. As the investigation tightens, Kat discovers that Will Cousins isn’t the lost soul she was attempting to save. He's a manifestation of her own darkest impulses. And behind him stands a shadow much darker than she ever imagined.
