The Last Draft (Pre-order)

After the collapse of her marriage, combat veteran Morgan Lashbrook traded Portland for the quiet mountain towns of Oregon’s Mt. Hood region, joining the state police in search of a fresh start. The ghosts of her past still linger, but Morgan has begun to build a new life—and a promising relationship with pastry chef and aspiring author Shae Wallace.

Then a bestselling thriller novelist is found murdered at a remote campsite just miles from Morgan’s home.

Assigned to lead the homicide task force, Morgan is forced into an uneasy partnership with her ex-husband, Portland police captain Deacon Pearce. As the investigation deepens, another body surfaces, and it becomes chillingly clear they’re hunting a serial killer stalking the forests of Oregon.

But this killer isn’t choosing victims at random.

As the clues come together, Morgan realizes the killer is following a carefully crafted plan—one that leads straight to her own doorstep. And the closer she gets to the truth, the closer the killer gets to someone she loves.
