Newly minted Nashville homicide lieutenant Taylor Jackson is reeling. After exposing and killing a dirty Metro police officer—her former lover—the young lieutenant is suffering from panic attacks by day and is plagued by nightmares every time she closes her eyes. Throw in a ritualistic serial killer with a penchant for co-eds, and Taylor has quite a lot on her capable but failing shoulders. And now there’s a new wrinkle: an FBI profiler she’s forced to work with on the case.

Dr. John Baldwin isn’t doing so well himself. Haunted by a faulty investigation that ended with the deaths of three colleagues, Baldwin has fled to Nashville and is planning to quit law enforcement entirely. Pulled begrudgingly into the murder case, Baldwin finds himself embroiled in tracking down one of Nashville’s most puzzling killers in decades, a man who is trying to create his own apocalypse. The case, and his feelings for the lovely Taylor Jackson, bring him back from the brink. True love does that to a man.

This thrilling prequel to the popular Taylor Jackson series chronicles a crazed killer two steps ahead of the detectives and features familiar characters whom readers have come to know and love. Answering fans’ most burning questions—like the source of Taylor’s infamous scar and the beginning of Taylor and Baldwin’s epic romance—CROSSED will leave Lt. Taylor Jackson fans itching to start the series over again.
