Alex Parker’s only hope is his new agent… or his NHL career is over.

After another scandal lands Alex in hot water, he’s traded to the worst team in the league. Even a defenseman with his skills can’t break their massive losing streak. And on top of that, he gets assigned a new agent who hates him.

Charlotte “Coach” Coachman is the top sports agent in the country. She’s made a name for herself with hard work and dedication and doesn’t have time for hockey players with more scandals under their belts than notches in their bedposts.

So she probably shouldn’t let Alex move into her apartment. Not when he’s attracted to her bossy, no-nonsense attitude that makes his hockey stick stand at attention.

But their living situation is temporary…
And Charlotte likes a challenge.

She grabbed his jaw. His face was cold to the touch. She turned his head from side to side.
And then Keely Delmonico—the former Rachel Fisk of Bismarck, North Dakota—backed away from the bed and tried to catch her breath.

For call girl Keely Delmonico, having a client die was a new one. Now she has to avoid the cops and all their nasty questions. She manages to get out of the fancy hotel free and clear. But lurking in the shadows is another danger, a deadly one—a killer who is determined to make Keely’s next step her last call.

Two missing girls. Thirteen years apart.

Olivia Shaw has been missing since last Tuesday. She was last seen outside the entrance of her elementary school in Hunts Point wearing a white spring jacket, blue jeans, and pink boots.

I force myself to look at the face in the photo, into her slightly smudged features, and I can’t bring myself to move. Olivia Shaw could be my mirror image, rewound to thirteen years ago.

If you have any knowledge of Olivia Shaw’s whereabouts or any relevant information, please contact…

I’ve spent a long time peering into the faces of girls on missing posters, wondering which one replaced me in that basement. But they were never quite the right age, the right look, the right circumstances. Until Olivia Shaw, missing for one week tomorrow.
