She came to Harlow Creek to find a killer.
She wasn't supposed to fall for him.
Mara Voss is a true-crime investigator with a ruined career and one last lead: five men, eight years, one small Appalachian valley. She drives into Harlow Creek, West Virginia, calling herself a journalist working on a history piece, and she meets Eli Caine the first afternoon.
Third-generation butcher. Landowner. The kind of man a valley trusts with its most difficult things.
Eli sees her the moment she parks on Main Street, camera in hand, reading the town like a document. He is not alarmed. He is interested. He has been patient his entire life and he has never found anything worth being patient about.
Until now.
As Mara's investigation closes around the man she can't stop thinking about, the lines between hunter and hunted dissolve. Eli knows she's looking for him. He's enjoying the chase. And when she finally finds what she came for, she'll have to decide what truth is worth, what justice means in a valley that has always taken care of its own, and whether she can love a man who is exactly what she thinks he is.
The Butcher's Lullaby is a slow-burn dark romance told in dual first-person POV, featuring a morally complex antihero, a razor-sharp heroine who knows exactly what she's walking into, and a love story that refuses to be simple.
