Delicate, expressive hands…long, graceful legs…One man is looking for his perfect woman–and he’ll stop at nothing until he finds her.

It’s been days since reporter Elise McBride has heard from her sister, Ashley. She’s convinced Ashley has met with some kind of foul play, especially when she learns that bodies of other missing women have surfaced in and around Chicago–all victims of a brutal serial killer. Convinced her sister is still alive, Elise vows to risk everything to save her…

The last thing ex-cop Trent Brady needs is more blood on his hands. Yet when he catches Elise breaking into her sister’s house, full of reckless determination and fear, he knows she needs his help. But just as desire ignites between them, a twisted madman sets his sights on Elise. Hell-bent on possessing her for himself, this psychopath won’t rest until he has his perfect woman.

Ashley McBride is a talented artist, yet a bit flighty, and very close to her sister, Elise McBride, who is a reporter. When Elise doesn’t hear from her as usual, she knows something is amiss and flies home from Hong Kong to find out what has happened to her.

Ex-cop and neighbor, Trent Brady spots a light flashing in Ashley’s house. He knows that it isn’t Ashley, and goes to investigate. At first Trent thinks it’s a teenage boy. However, it turns out to be a woman. The police arrive and assure Elise that they will find her sister. Elise and Trent team up together to locate her sister before it is too late.

They soon discover they are searching for a crazed serial killer who mutilates the bodies of his victims to create the perfect woman.

Will they find her sister in one piece or become victims themselves?

About the Author..

After spending too many years as an Industrial Engineer, Shannon learned to write from her husband, bestselling author Jim Butcher. She learned writing craft in order to help him with his stories, but found the idea of writing her own too compelling to resist. She lives in Missouri with her husband and son, where conversations at the dinner table are more often about things someone made up than about anything that’s actually happened.  You can learn more about Shannon via her website at www.shannonkbutcher.com.
