Disguised Threat (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798902522072)

It's hard to hide a crush when you're also hiding from a killer.

Marina Elliot thought she was finally safe in Murcie Lake, Florida. But several frightening events confirm her stalker is back. Her first thought is to contact her brother's friend, Nick. Her second? To pray he doesn't think she likes him that way, even though she absolutely does.

Detective Nick Castillo doesn't do attachments. Loss and burnout have made him a loner ready to quit his job...until Marina calls. Disarmed by her more than he'll admit, Nick tries to keep his distance while he and his garlic-averse Hungarian partner investigate.

When an obsessed killer who's always a step ahead emerges, Nick and Marina are thrust into a race for their lives. Staying alive will take teamwork, quick thinking, and a bit of magic.
