She wanted a simple life. What she got was anything but…

Lexi Sobado is anything but ordinary. She can do things-sense things-that most people cannot. When she attracts the attention of a deadly stalker, she’s not about to sit quietly and let the handsome ex-SEAL save her. She’s going to take care of herself and help catch the madman-even if it’s the last thing she ever does.

Striker Rheas is supposed to protect Lexi. He can’t do his job, though, if she’s keeping secrets-and she’s definitely hiding something from him. But then again, he has a secret of his own. He can’t let her know he’s falling in love with her…

Lexi’s gut (and psychic ability) is telling her that what she hides, what she reveals, and what she uncovers will have to be in perfect balance if she’s going to stop a killer-and save her own life in the process.

Time is running out…

The first time Sebastian saw Maggie, he knew she was the one. Unfortunately, so did a killer…

Sebastian Kane may have felt that visceral punch to the gut when he saw her, but he hesitated. So new-in-town Maggie is already dating fellow firefighter, Rex. But even his loyalty to the brotherhood can’t keep Sebastian away when danger is on Maggie’s doorstep. Or maybe already inside her house…

Maggie fled to tiny Redemption hoping to leave behind a painful betrayal she’d rather keep hidden, but her hopes for a fresh start are quickly dying. None of the town’s residents are willing to trust a newcomer and her aunt’s old boarding house isn’t the safe haven she remembers. The most notorious serial killer in the tri-state area has left Maggie a gift in her aunt’s house… letting her know that Sebastian wasn’t the only one who wanted her the first time he saw her.

How can Sebastian keep Maggie safe when she’s bound and determined to prove her aunt’s innocence by taunting a dangerous predator?

Despite the difference in subgenre, readers will notice key similarities: strong protagonists, life-or-death stakes, and narratives where women take charge of their destinies.

So if you loved reading any of these recent bestsellers, then the next pages you should turn are Weakest Lynx or Crash and Burn.

 

For fans of psychic thrillers, serial-killer suspense, or edge-of-your-seat suspense with strong female leads, Weakest Lynx and Crash and Burn make a perfect pair — and these recent best-selling thrillers expand the excitement even further.
