Losing Control by Desiree Holt

Twenty-five years ago, she was the only victim to survive the killing spree of a pedophile. Her life has been frozen in time. Not even relocation or an identity change has healed the wounds that left her emotionally and sexually scarred. Determined to reclaim her life, she returns to High Ridge as multi-published crime novelist, Dana Moretti, with the hope of asking the questions that will lay her nightmares to rest.

Sheriff Cole Landry, came to High Ridge to escape the horrors of Iraq and Afghanistan, but soon after the sexy author arrives and starts poking her nose into matters best forgotten, his town once again becomes the hunting ground of a ruthless killer. She’s sure it’s the same man, and he’s not all that convinced she’s wrong. Keeping Dana safe means keeping her under his protection…and under him.

Between Dana’s awakening desire for Cole and the danger lurking behind every stranger’s face, her world is spinning out of control.
