In New York Times bestselling author Elle James’s latest, one woman finds she’s unsafe in her own home—and in her heart...
Real estate whiz Jillian Taylor thinks heroes and haunted houses are bogus. But when a series of strange events leaves her in danger, Stealth Ops Specialist Chance McCall is quick to the scene. Jillian can’t resist the chemistry brewing between her and the sexy agent. But as she and Chance deconstruct her nightmares, someone becomes more desperate to keep those secrets from surfacing.
Chance knows there’s more going on at the derelict Victorian manor than just ghosts—just as he knows there’s something about the blonde beauty he can’t resist. If only he could help decipher the meaning of Jillian’s tortured dreams...and keep her safe in his arms forever.
Her lips twisted. “Let me guess, if you tell me what you do—”
“I’d have to kill you.” He captured her wrist in his hand. “I think you’ve done enough. We should finish the work and get back to the B and B.”
Jillian stared into his eyes.
A few short inches separated them, but all Chance could think about was those pretty pink lips and what they might taste like if he dared kiss her.
Jillian ran her tongue around those pink lips, sending Chance’s control flying.
“Do you realize how crazy you’re making me?”
She shook her head, her eyes rounding, her gaze shifting to his mouth.
Like a moth drawn to the flame, Chance couldn’t resist the temptation. He slipped his hand beneath her hair at the back of her head and dragged her forward until their lips almost touched. “Tell me to stop and I will,” he breathed, praying she wouldn’t when the temptation to kiss her threatened to overwhelm him.

We’re back in Cape Churn! I thought Deadly Allure would be the last in the series, but when I told my editor I wanted to write more Devil’s Shroud books, I was thrilled she agreed.
Some of my fans asked for Jillian the real estate agent’s story, so I took the chance to bring her back and to introduce a new character. And it’s all because of a wedding. And since the area has its own spook factor, I gave Jillian her very first fixer-upper home. Not only does the home have a past, it helps Jillian learn more about the past she could never remember.
Enter former warrior turned Stealth Operations Specialist Chance McCall, and things heat up in Cape Churn.
Hang on for a bumpy and often creepy ride!
