Synopsis:
For two FBI agents
with a past, love becomes a matter of life and death in the new Hidden Sins
novel from New York Times and USA Today bestselling
author Katee Robert.
Maggie Gaines used to
be an FBI agent—top of her class and one of the bright, up-and-coming
stars—until she spectacularly fell apart during her first high-profile case.
That was eight years ago. Now she’s a ranger at Glacier National Park, and
she’s found some measure of peace. But when the body of a murdered woman is
discovered, she must finally put the past behind her and work with the one man
she thought she’d never see again.
For months, Vic
Sutherland has been hunting a killer who’s been targeting unsuspecting hikers
in national parks—and now the predator has come to Glacier. Vic knows the case
will bring him face-to-face with his former partner, yet nothing can prepare
him for seeing Maggie again after all these years, or for the memories of
passion it stirs in both of them.
As the investigation
brings them closer together—and closer to the killer—Maggie and Vic fear they
have only each other to trust. But even that might not be enough to make it out
of Glacier alive.

Vic’s gaze fell on his phone. Maggie’s number was now in the
contacts folder. It would be easy to dial it, just to check on her.
Except it was late, and she hadn’t asked for him to babysit her.
He’d gone years without seeing her, and now that they were in the
same general area, it was like they were two magnets that could barely resist
the pull. He wanted to hear her voice, to sit her down and share a meal that
wasn’t military issue, to actually talk.
His phone rang, which startled him so much he almost dropped it.
Vic stared at the screen for several precious seconds, wondering if he was more
tired than he’d thought, because it sure as fuck looked like Maggie was calling
him. “Sutherland.”
“It’s me.”
He sat on the edge of the bed, suddenly painfully aware that he
wore only a towel. It shouldn’t matter. She couldn’t see him, didn’t know what
he was or wasn’t wearing, but it did matter. “Hey, Maggie.”
“I have to apologize.” He could almost feel her soft sigh. “You
were right, and I was acting like a stubborn kid. This whole thing—the murders
in the park and having to deal with my past and you—has got me all twisted up.”
Maybe it was the events of the last two days, but he was so
goddamn tired of doing the noble thing. He never put himself or his personal
shit before a case. Not once.
He’d never wanted to before.
“I twist you up?”
“As if you didn’t know. I had something of a crush on you when we
were partners—which I’m sure you knew after I threw myself at you—and
apparently I didn’t outgrow it as much as I thought.”
The dimness of the room evoked an intimacy he didn’t deserve. Was
Maggie sitting in her bedroom in low light, too? He liked the picture that
made. “You have nothing to apologize for.”
“I’ve been making an ass of myself since you stepped off that
helicopter.” She shifted, the sound painfully loud in the near silence. “And
I’m doing it again, apparently. My whole point was that I’m sorry and I’ll be
professional from now on. You don’t have to worry about any breakdowns or hissy
fits.”
If he was smart, he’d take her apology for what it was and allow
it to move them back to solid ground. There were lives on the line and a
condensed timeline that was only going to get more condensed with each body
that popped up.
But when Vic spoke, he didn’t move them back to firm ground. He
threw them right over the edge of the cliff. “Fuck being professional. I want
you, Maggie. Not the former FBI agent. Not the park ranger. I want you.”
Praise
for The Hidden Sins Series
“…a captivating read, made all the more rewarding when good triumphs.” —Washington
Post
“Robert
shows off her impressive versatility in this fast-paced and inventive new
Hidden Sins series. The small-town setting is a masterful blend of quaint and
oppressive, which ratchets the menace and thrill factor. The protagonists carry
the full weight of their pasts with them, making their growing relationship as
compelling as the mystery element in The Devil’s Daughter. With
plenty of twists and betrayals, this is a book that is sure to earn Robert a
wealth of new fans.” —RT Book Reviews

About Katee Robert
New
York Times and USA
TODAY bestselling author Katee Robert learned to tell her stories at her
grandpa’s knee. Her 2015 title, The Marriage Contract, was a RITA finalist, and
RT Book Reviews named it 'a compulsively readable book with just the
right amount of suspense and tension." When not writing
sexy contemporary and romantic suspense, she spends her time playing imaginary
games with her children, driving her husband batty with what-if questions, and
planning for the inevitable zombie apocalypse.
